“Just in time” is not a robust system. But everybody adopted it. It has failed, along with Democrats the world wide, practicing policies of the “government knows best”, caused this.
It will indeed take years to recover, if at all. We had it in our grasp and we let the Democrats of the world “piss it away”.

I remember when I was in college in the mid to late 1980's, one of my professors did warn that there will be a time when the "just in time system" will fall apart. It was just starting at the time, IIRC, it was an idea the Japanese used.

My maternal grandmother said also where if we don t make things here, there will be a point where we will have shortages for the stuff we need and again, she is correct, she said this in the 1970's.

That’s not a fair assessment. The real issue stems from people grasping onto an idea without really understanding the nuance of it. That nuance is that JIT isn’t someone one does...it should actually come about naturally after doing a lot of things. That list includes: improving quality, reducing changeover times, improving quality and throughput, etc.

But in typical American way, and to be fair, many other areas of the world; chased JIT as just another program and failed in the fundamental execution if it.
