[QUOTE="trbii, post: 3645559, member: 2449"] The Aerospace manufacturer I retired from a couple years ago went to the “just in time inventory” approx 30 years ago to cut storage costs and increase efficiency, they claimed. I do remember Japanese efficiency experts visiting, auditing and touting this new idea. Also starting to farm out all support and maintenance work. Shut down our in house machine shop, happily getting rid of our highest paid hourly tradesmen. Management was sure all outside support would show up in a timely manner to fix breakdowns, perform PM’s, build new tooling. Just a phone call away. [/QUOTE]
