An unexpected disruption in the supply chain can cost a company a lot of money. Japanese automakers experienced just such a disruption when a earthquake caused major damage to the company that produces 50% of their piston rings. The rings themselves cost only $, but you cannot make a car without them. As a result, the automakers were forced to shut down production for a few days—a loss of tens of thousands of cars. Similarly, a major snowstorm halted production at the Canadian plants of Ford. A Ford spokesperson said, “Because the plants run with just-in-time inventory, we don’t have large stockpiles of parts sitting around. When you have a somewhat significant disruption, you can pretty quickly run out of parts.” Sources: Amy Chozick, “A Key Strategy of Japan’s Car Makers Backfires,” Wall Street Journal (July 20, 2007); and Kate Linebaugh, “Canada Military Evacuates Motorists Stranded by Snow,” Wall Street Journal (December 15, 2010).
