JIT is a Japanese management philosophy which has been applied in practice since the early 1970s in many Japanese manufacturing organisations. It was first developed and perfected within the Toyota manufacturing plants by Taiichi Ohno as a means of meeting consumer demands with minimum delays. This method of manufacture is now applied worldwide and unfortunately the knock-on effect is lack of spares further down the line. If you have a Jaguar car that is over 10 years old (or even younger in some cases) the lack of spares held on the shelf is now a real issue and you can be waiting months for spare parts.Freddie Dobbs who has a YouTube channel had nothing but problems trying to obtain a base gasket for a 10 year old Triumph Bonneville. He ended up scouring the world for a simple gasket, Triumph didn't want to know, just told him they couldn't give him a date for when one might become available.Manufacturers don't want us to keep a vehicle for more than 7-8 years; we now live in a throwaway society, so much for being environmentally friendly!
