How is this possible? I thought the way Amazon was able to maintain such a broad selection was that it didn’t have much inventory on hand? Do these numbers count for orders made even if there isn’t stock to fill it?
When they first started, they kept no inventory, and ordered on a
just-in-time basis from distributors. Now they keep inventory of best
sellers, and rely on JIT for backlist.
