The risk from Just In Time business models

[bigpaul]

as far as supermarket JIT goes we've all seen how that can go awry, in the "fuel protests" the local supermarkets(we were living in Somerset then) had empty shelves within 48 hours, all the bread and milk went within the first 24 hours, in a longer maybe permanent event it'll all go a lot quicker than that. I did notice the smaller stores got resupplied but the larger one's didn't cos the smaller stores(Londis, Spar and the like) used smaller trucks.
