Well it's not easy for companies to implement the toyota production system. When they decide to go that way, they usually take years in learning it from advisors. On the other hand, a less effective production system means higher prices, and taking away goods and services that everyone can afford from the poorer people.

I've worked in mfg most of my life and every company I worked for tries to implement 5S, JIT, Lean Mfg etc. But the problem is a cultural one. In Asian society the kind of cooperation needed to implement these systems is taught and ingrained early on. In the US where the Individual is prioritized over the group it is too difficult to change the mindset, which is why these systems never fully get implemented correctly. This is a great video to explain supply chain basics to people. I don't think we will ever fix it but at least you can explain what went wrong.

Canada should have their own manufacturing facility. Sure it may be more expensive (due to mostly labour cost), but it should ensure constant supply and less price fluctuations. The world cannot just rely on China and India to manufacture critical materials like medical supplies/medications and semiconductors.

It's fascinating that the auto industry had these problems recognizing which parts of their supply chain should be flexible and which shouldn't. Car construction today is based around identifying 'crumple zones', parts of the car that can flex and compact to absorb energy in a crash, around a rigid frame. Their supply chain is no different: some parts can flex and some must remain rigid for it to work.

Blame the Republicans and Clinton Dems on this. Their polices stressed short term over long. If a CEO was to take a long term view, he'll soon be replaced. The reason is that they tied retirement to stocks, so pension funds and individual investors just look at quarterly returns. Wall Street, which manages said funds, are compensated on those results, and so on. So the funds control the board, they construct the comp package, and the package is tied to short term stock results.

I work for a company that tried the just in time principal. They called it lean manufacturing. They were the largest employer in the northwestern Pennsylvania region. Almost 2,000 people just on the shop floor. Now, we are down to 80 people. They failed miserably implementing it. You said it perfectly. We mass produced parts that we needed to have in stock to stay afloat. Because they did away with inventory, we went under.

A similar argument can be made about building maintenance and energy production. False profitability calculations being used to justify getting rid of maintenance staff or cleaning staff in favor of contractors with no vested interest in the company. Contractors often profit by ignoring a problem they recognize but aren't responsible for to increase costs.

So, literally, everyone operating on short-term just-in-time delivery models compounded in every direction to ensure that the steady flow previously maintained and economies of scale previously enjoyed are now, themselves, liabilities.

Something that I find ironic is that this model of continual flow manufacturing, where products are made and shipped in as small of a batch a possible to better facilitate quality and the economics of business, is a pretty new concept. Like, within the last 20 years or so new. It has existed before, but only got pushed recently over the previous style of batch manufacturing. I gotta wonder how much of this shortage-demic was due to a newer style of business that relys on a prefect functioning system to work.

So it was all a total waste of time, they just wanted to check that box on their project tables and make sure their execs and sales people would be able to sound trendy and authoritative when talking to customers and competitors at industry events.

"shortage of truck drivers in the US..." Yeah, working in that exact industry I can say there are more trucks on the road today than what was there 6 years ago, and the quality of driver and driver's ability has plummeted. I can also tell you that the increase in shipping costs aren't making their way to the driver. It's, as usual, "getting used up somewhere along the way".

Very true in my opinion. People wanted to still work, until they were paid more to do nothing and what do ya know...we got a shortage of workers and therefore supply chain issues. Of course...that is not the entire reason. But this video completely ignores that and goes into minor detail over "not enough ports open for ships, not enough workers to fulfill orders" the economy could have still been moving if people weren't incentivised to stay home. This is evident when you go to your local fast food resturant and see the sign "We are not open during normal hours because no one wants to work for $10/hour when they could get $700/week from unemplyoment"

Actually, that's the interpretation that most companies had, but if you listen to the video, that's not how it's supposed to work. It's not a complete lack of inventory (or in the case of your example: cash in the bank), it's a lack of excess inventory - unneeded inventory that just takes up space. So instead of living paycheck to paycheck with an otherwise empty bank account, you have a cushion of money (maybe enough to pay your rent for one month, maybe more), just in case you have something go wrong and your paycheck doesn't cover your rent one month.

6:01 Was not expecting to see my hometown in this video. I'm so glad we've all cleaned up so much debris in the past year, it almost looks halfway normal now.

I work at a paint store. We are seeing massive shortages of paint because of the winter storm in Texas back in February destroying many of the factories that produce the resins that go into a large percentage of the world’s top coatings. That storm I believe was considered a once in a hundred year event so the power grid and factories were never designed with it in mind. Honestly though a hundred years most definitely should be within the planning horizon of any city or engineer of any large facility. 100 year events are actually pretty common when you realize that no 2 events have any kind of predictable start and end points and that you will have to plan for multiple such events in the construction of any large facility. Snow storms, floods, solar flares, hurricane etc are all dangers to power grids for example and most certainly should be planned for and are likely to be seen much soon than 100 years when all of them are taken into account. Just like mentioned here, major disruption is inevitable and not planning for it can’t be an excuse.

@RobertPrestley

Yep. A 100-year event just means that there's a 1% chance of the event occurring in any one year. And given the level of impact, I think even a 1% chance is worth preparing for.

I can attest to the shortage of truck drivers. This has been a problem for over 5 years now. My friend's family runs a trucking business. The business is one of the most poorly-run businesses I have ever seen. They were on the brink of going out of business when the truck driver shortage happened. Now, even large companies such as Target and Gap are willing to put up with their tardiness and crap that would shut down an adequately-run business just to get their products shipped. This business once "forgot" a shipment for Forever 21 and missed the sale for Black Friday... Also, Walmart has been ramping up hiring truck drivers for awhile now. They have these semi-annual hiring sessions in the large parking lot in my city where they test you right then and there. Starting salary is over $90k.

Such a good explanation! Humans almost always prefer a quick, easy, & over-simplified solution; as opposed to a nuanced & more complicated one that better fits reality.

Hell, humans love to live by quick, easy, and oversimplified concepts generally as opposed to more nuanced ones. Much of the shit that is taught to us as "reality" in school is often far more nuanced and complicated.

This is an old, old proverb, not a new quote from a screenplay. It's easy to find on Google, don't folks actually look up information anymore? We have access to it, why not spend a few seconds and avoid putting out incorrect information? I'd rather be slower and more precise than quick but erroreous.

It sounds like WORKERS are a valuable component to the existence of EVERYTHING. Maybe employers should schedule workers to work and actually pay them as if the worker matters.

Many friend that can't keep a job for 3 months because he is lazy is a truck driver. I make $28.65 an hour and been at my job 8 years. In that same time every job he moved to paid higher. Truck drivers get paid a very good wage for getting to sit all day in a AC vehicle and drive.

but workers are SUPPOSED to be exploited and used up in a capitalistic system. of course, a lot of people have realized in the last year that WE ARE BEING EXPLOITED. they are not going back to work for as long as they can hold out. if no one wants to work for you maybe you aren't paying enough. (not YOU, universal you).

we're gonna find out pretty soon how your hypothesis stands out. water, even though the world is covered in it, is on the verge a change in matter, it's gonna snowball so fast, it's already started, but guess what? no matter how rich anyone may be, when a specific time clicks past, our role will vanish as the rest of things do. extinction. what is pretty cool is we reached the end of an age, in knowledge (that wont help much,) but it's been pretty cool, compared to some that lived even 100 yrs ago. antibiotics and health care are going to round us all up at once, instead of 1/2 populations die offs that would have maybe allowed this train some more track to roll on.

Then we averted catastrophy... it's a long shot, but duable in theory. This generation doesn't give us much hope, but there's always that high IQ person (a Biological certainty) that will lead ahead and leap us forwards, even though surrounded by a mass of ignorance as it always have been; a few buying us time. When it comes to water, well that jury still out since we moved a bit on desalination process. Overpopulation is quite scary indeed, but we all eventually die. Numbers are in our favor now since this generation doesn't want kids or can't afford them (for us in the west), but of course that's another topic entirely.
