Working in a place that makes gaskets, it's everywhere that it possibly can be. Wal-Mart is famous for it's 'lean' inventory, and many automotive places are dying to use a true "JIT" (Just in Time) where the customer orders it and it's made for them within the day or three as opposed to keeping on hand stock.It is a problem in many aspects as it becomes more difficult to accuratelly forecast demand when other events, such as super sales or something of that nature, hits. The real people that companies should not be hitting up on are the printers. That's the way things work like that are my place. We distribute it, so we don't want to carry any supply more then a few days so we make demands of the packaging department, who makes demands of the manufacturing department. If you're unable to force change higher up the chain, you will be in a world of hurt as you've noted that now you're the one paying for the majority of everything.</blockquote>
