Postponement is a strategy where final product customization is withheld until a customer order is known. This approach keeps products in a generic form and uses flexible components, which reduces the risk of producing the wrong variant and lowers finished-goods inventory. When an order arrives, the final customization can be completed quickly, letting the company respond to actual demand without tying up capital in unused inventory. This alignment of production with what customers actually want minimizes risk and storage costs, which is why delaying final customization until the order is received best describes the benefit.
