It's called "just in time," and the idea is to minimize having capital 
tied up in inventory.  I'm most familiar with the pro audio world, and 
that's how the big players like JBL, Renkus-Heinz, etc. operate, and so 
do the smaller ones.  A few production lines, one for each type of 
product offered (one for the smallest companies).
