Investment appraisal is the process of determining whether an expected return is sufficient to justify the investment required to achieve that return, given the risk and the time delay associated with the expected return.
Just-in-case stock management is a modified version of Just-in-time stock management.


 
Where Just-in-time would result in a zero or negligible stock holding level, a Just-in-case approach adds an appropriate additional safety holding, to protect against a supplier's potential (unexpected) inability to deliver stock as required.

Investment appraisal can also refer to a more comprehensive process of analysis and decision making about potential investments including - but broader than - the quantified analysis in 1. above.

Where Just-in-time would result in a zero or negligible stock holding level, a Just-in-case approach adds an appropriate additional safety holding, to protect against a supplier's potential (unexpected) inability to deliver stock as required.
