Back in the 90s I remarked to an eng manager that 'just-in-time' was not a great philosophy to apply to spares holdings.
They achieved the once and for all advantage of reducing spares holdings and then, for instance, B744 at LHR requires spare and it has to come from LGW at short notice.
Result? Delay!
Too many short term prima donnas trying to make a name for themselves.
