tarveperäinen

Tarveperäinen is a term used in economics and management to describe a situation where a resource or service is produced or provided in response to a specific demand or need. This approach contrasts with mass production or supply, where goods are manufactured or services provided in large quantities regardless of immediate demand. Tarveperäinen systems are often characterized by flexibility, customization, and responsiveness to customer needs. They can be found in various sectors, including manufacturing, healthcare, and information technology. The primary advantage of tarveperäinen systems is their ability to meet specific customer requirements efficiently, reducing waste and improving satisfaction. However, they may also require more complex management and coordination compared to mass production or supply systems. Examples of tarveperäinen practices include just-in-time manufacturing, customized software development, and on-demand healthcare services.
