CFOs rethinking cost savings of just-in-time supply chains

[surada]

And yet there were still shortages

Yes of course there were shortages.. Trump cancelled the orders as soon as he was sworn in. He threw out the Pandemic Handbook.

Don't you remember when he ranted and raved in 2020 that Obama didn't leave him any covid tests?????????

But they point out a weakness. Suppose terrorists start sinking a lot of container ships. Insurance skyrockets to where ship owners lose money on the ships that make harbor, so shipping stops. Or a war breaks out at one of the maritime choke points, or any of a hundred other things that disrupt commerce. Then Dillard’s can’t get pants to sell to you and your stock becomes worthless because their income drops well below expenses.

If it were up to me, everything would be manufactured here in America, we consumers would just have to pay more for the widgets we buy.... My post #16 addresses some of your comments....

Trump also shipped our PPE supply inventory to China, early on, to help them....leaving the USA short....

Google it.

The Pandemic Handbook was brilliant and the government did stock essential medicine and equipment to rapidly address any epidemic.

Trump cancelled the orders . He wanted the money for his wall.

Don't go there,Blues Man.. There is no excuse for what Trump did .. especially in light of the success in controlling Zika and Ebola.

No.. Sometimes it takes courage to face the facts and admit you're wrong.. It's never easy for me either, but in my family we have learned to say, "beg your pardon, I was wrong".

I'm not wrong.

Just in time inventory was the major contributing factor to all the shortages at the onset of the pandemic.

It had nothing to do with what idiot was in the oval office at the time.

JIT inventory systems work...unless you're getting your crap from China.

So essentially it never works lol

Do you think before posting?

Sadly for many no matter what happens it must either be credited or blamed on politics.

 

[JoeMoma]

JIT works until it doesn't, so it needs to be balanced by risks, cost and benefits.

Except..Obama had reordered replenish supplies and equipment. Trump cancelled those orders,gave away what we did have and raved that Obama hadn't left him with any covid tests.

Remember that Trump says he has ALL authority and isn't responsible.

And that would have been enough for all the hospitals in the entire country right?

I don't think so.
