JIT is Playground for Big Companies
I think that JIT or zero inventory or any system aiming similar targets needs power to execute. There are three cushions against delivery time variability.
1. Stock
2. Extra capacity
3. Unhappy customers
Big companies may push the stock out, but to where!
Most of the time to the poor supplier. Now it is the supplier turn, if he or she can find another poor supplier JIT will follow.
