Bumping for this excellent video I watched RE: supply chains / shortages.

COVID was just the match that lit the powder keg of other issues that pre-dated the pandemic.
My big takeaways:
- As outlined in @GrundleStiltzkin’s excellent book club recommendation, The New Map, shipping containers and @Logistics are critical
- You will continue to be fucked if you want a rental car
- We desperately need to step up computer chip production
- The much heralded Toyota production system, and it’s half assed implementation its “just in time manufacturing” by most companies, is at the heart of many of these inventory shorts -
No kiddin’. JIT inventory got exposed like a Coug defense on Black Friday. I’d think Businesses may reconsider this strategy after all of this.Doog_de_Jour said:Bumping for this excellent video I watched RE: supply chains / shortages.

The bean counters will probably win that battle though. -
All I can say is that Google REALLY wants me to watch that video, as it's been top-12 on YouTube for at least a week.
So hat on the table for this video?... -
I’ve always been interested in this, despite how heralded and lauded JIT works it’s never made a ton of sense to me. It works well enough when the supply chain is uninterrupted, but it feels like a lot of sectors (defense, aerospace, even automotive) are finding reliable and non-Chinese supplies hard to come by. Crazy to me there isn’t a drive to manufacture semiconductor stateside. When the shit hits the fan we get to where we are now.Kaepsknee said:

From the engineering side, any time a part obsolescence issue comes up (frequently in aerospace) we have to figure in holding costs for us sitting on the part. But what’s worse, holding costs or not being able to build anything?
Business type MBA’s are running engineering into the ground. -
Not sure how I missed this thread, but I have been working my ass off for the past 6 months. Finally found some time to come up for air.
Best of luck to you all getting your big-ticket items shipped to you in a timely manner. -
Just priced out a USG ceiling tile job. Material is up over 50% from pre covid
I think we're at the point where prices are being raised because they can be which has always been my bid philosophy as well
Sorry Mr Customer we are getting HAMMERED by material increases. -
We had this in a microcosm at my Seattle job. Back in the 90s and early oughts. My main rival as top dog PM was sucking up with his just in time bullshit when in fact he was disorganized all the time. Add in JIT and every job was a panic and interfered with my smooth running jobs because I had to bail him outbiak1 said:

My shit sat in our warehouse for a week or two then got installed. Big fucking deal. You waste way more money and customer good will by being late which he usually was -
New sticks are 6-8 weeks out.

Instead of given Yella bike storage grief, you should be commenting on my varsity blues thread and lampooning the ever loving shit out of USC and their embarrassing habit of being bought and paid for. -
Back in June last year, I bought a hot tub and had to wait 5 months for it. Went back in the store a couple weeks ago to get some chemicals, and laughed about my wait last year. The owner chuckled and told me to be happy I got it when I did, because the wait is now a year. And people are not wanting to wait, so they are buying 5-6 year old ones for the price of a new one, so the new ones are now 20-30% more. Crazy…
