Toyota may have been the people who pioneered Just in Time, but there are also one of the few car manufacturers that actually had a stock pile of components. They realized that supply chain disruptions are too damaging not to have a cache.
Saying blame Toyota is funny, but really all the execs who say a cost savings and took without consideration of supply chain problems are actually to blame.
