The problem with "running lean" is that it is extremely difficult to rapidly ramp up your capacity, because if you are running lean that forces your suppliers to run lean, which trickles down the entire supply chain. So even if you want to suddenly ramp up your capacity, your supplier suddenly has to ramp up theirs, and their supplier etc. etc. and suddenly you have three to four different corporate entities that have to ramp up their capacities, independent of each other, without the ability to truely communicate. It's almost as though the only way this works is through either the Fordist model of vertical integration (which is considered extremely inefficient by modern profiteers) or a command economy (which is bad and communist).
