[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3646689, member: 5412"] I remember that Six Sigma. Our company went in full speed ahead as that was supposed to be the end to warehousing. Some companies built warehouses around the area to act as buffers and be part of the supply chain. I was a purchasing agent at the time wringing my hands about how poor the supply chain was currently with delays and some products being a year out like bearings that are only produced in one production run, one time a year, but the management took a deaf ear because the "industry was moving this way". What a bunch of dumb arses. They couldn't listen that we needed to stockpile repair and manufacturing products to protect against shipping and manufacturing delays. The world was perfect in their minds. It sure bit us in the arse many times down the road before they decided spare parts/component manufacturing parts on the shelf was the way to go. I'm sure they gave themselves a bonus at the end of the year for that personal enlightenment. The rest of us just went back to work. [/QUOTE]
