The main benefit of JIT is less inventory costs. One of these is tax as mentioned above. Also, lost opportunity costs as well as storage costs. If you are paying for that inventory you can not make profits doing something else with that money. We may have room but you have to pay for the use of that room. I guess there are more costs also.

IF your JIT inventory is sitting on a ship in the Atlantic-—you are NOT making any money on it, either.

You cannot even match a packing slip/purchase order & vendor invoice when nothing is moving.

JIT works when things are stable and while citizens suffer under the imposition of the ‘Great Communist Reset’ there will be no stability until one side or the other wins. Communists are nothing but a shake-down mafia who use the threat of destruction and economic warfare to seize power and wealth so there will be no stability with them in power and trying to consolidate it.

Just ask yourselves, would JIT be a smart strategy in a tumultuous prewar environment, let alone war?
