Question:
Consider the quote "To guess is cheap, to guess incorrectly is expensive".
Should I buy a car now or wait?
Suppose you are working for Daimler/Chrysler and have to "guess" the number of PT Cruisers to be built this Spring. Based on your "guess", parts will be ordered, workers will be scheduled and the cars will be assembled and shipped.
What should i get my mom for her birthday?
If your "guess" is too low, you have no inventory, buyers must wait to purchase your car. The problem is that they may not wait. They may purchase another car from your competition.
If your "guess" is too high, you have a huge inventory. In order to reduce the number of cars on the lot, you must offer rebates, lower the prices, cut back on production and worse, lay off workers.
Realistically, how much can you pick up a 80s 911 (UK) for?
Ideally you want to make the "right" guess, the correct number of PT Cruisers built and sold. In the two scenarios described above which is the worse case?

Guess high. You always want to keep your customers. If they can't get their car and purchase from another competition you would risk losing future business from that customer.You don't "guess" at all in a competitive market.
You build a JIT supply and distribution system and match production to demand. You minimize inventory and create a network of dealerships which trade inventory to match their customers needs regionally.
If your model line is so popular you cannot keep up with demand, you start negotiating to buy the factories of your failing competitors and retooling them to increase your manufacturing capability.
