Some companies can. If you produce a standardized product, you maintain rigid production schedules and you have a very good supply chain, you can definitely achieve zero inventory. I run a job shop. I do a modified zero-inventory system. The things I use the most of, I keep a lot of inventory on hand. The things I rarely use are ordered as necessary.

What is the difference between independent-demand inventories and dependent-demand inventories?

An independent demand is a demand that is not based on the demand for another item while a dependent demand is based on the demand for another item. For example, the demand for chairs of a table and the table itself is based on the demand for the table. The table in this example is the item with independent demand. Knowing this, one can forecast an independent demand while dependent demands are calculated based on the independent demand item. Business to business independent demands tend to be demands for such items as capital goods, office supplies, MRO (maintenance, repair, and operating) items, and anything else for which the dependency is unknown. Independent demands are usually handled with standalone purchase orders, although some items might be covered by contractual relationships such as volume, price and other agreements.

Is it possible to achieve a temperature that is colder and absolute zero?

I think the term you're looking for is cryogenic processing. The NIST defines cryogenic temperatures as those below 93.2 Kelvin. Slowly reducing temperatures, to prevent damage from thermal shock, to below 93.2 Kelvin is a cryogenic process.


What is absulte 0?

"Absolute Zero" refers to zero on the kelvin scale for temperature. Absolute Zero, or 0 kelvin ( = -459.67 degrees Fahrenheit = -273.15 degrees Celsius), is the coldest possible temperature. It is probably impossible to achieve this temperature, but you can get very close.
