First, I believe in JIT manufacturing as a proper goal where feasible. Also, I agree that regardless of the mfg method the covid pandemic would have been too much to handle.

While "blame" would be wrong, it is hard to refute that if more companies had held onto wasteful amounts of excess inventory (since logical emergency reserves didnt exist) the PPE shortage would not have been as severe.
