> What makes you think the right balance hasn't already been struck? Because it wasn't in the company I work for, and it wasn't at many of our suppliers, and it looks like similar things happened most everywhere else. We've made a number of changes, both to how and where we source things, to how much of what we keep in stock, and changed processes to re-evaluate suppliers and overall state-of-the-market more frequently. I know some of our vendors have as well, both because in some cases we asked them to, and also just from talking to them. If your firm has achieved planning perfection, congrats. I mean that sincerely. But I don't think a lot of other places have.
