[wplug-jobs] need serious Linux skills for a new top-notch Pittsburgh dev team

In the mid-'90s during my engineering management studies, we
called this "just in time" manufacture.  Or maybe this is more of a
variant that one should call "just in time" supplier?

- ModCloth buys from a network of small independent clothing designers  
and manufacturers.  These suppliers work in very small lots --  
typically manufacturing runs of 200 to 1,000 items.  This puts very  
challenging demands on inventory management, logistics, and decision  
support.  For example, if a particular item turns out to be a hit,  
ModCloth may have only a few days to acquire more before the  
manufacturing run is sold out.
