Dave,

I hear you, JIT is the bane of a manager's existence sometimes. My answer to
one of it's proposals was "when someone can predict just when and where a
lightning bolt will strike nearby, which system it will toast, and what
components it will take out, I'll have the replacement shipped to arrive the
day before, and a tech standing at a safe distance with part-in-hand when it
happens". It was somewhat gratifying to see the eyes go big and round at
that.

There you go...

As an aside, I wonder how much, "big and round," is affected by the
idea, and how much of it is surprise that anyone would speak
frankly... Things that make you go hmmmm...

Cheers! :)
