Safety stocks are held to meet demand in the eventuality of demand forecast errors and/or supply delays or disruptions.

In a perfect world safety stock would not be needed and all supplies would be JIT. But we dont live in a perfect world and JIT cannot be applied to all markets or industries which is why safety stock is needed.
