JIT is a great low cost, effective system as long as it works. It did
for a while.
But the real issue we refuse to face is to listen to Lenin who had been
quoted "The Capitalist will sell you the rope to hang him."
And that is what happening, don't blame Communist China, No Far East
power forced American businessman to "out source" production, only self
imposed force applied is greed. No loyalty to employees or to the best
interest of the U.S. is considered in business decisions, only PROFIT..
