JIT works nicely in isolation--when everyone relies on it is when it starts to break down. It basically offloads the responsibility of forecasting your inventory needs to the supplier, who has absolutely no knowledge of your inventory needs.

that would seem to assume a not close relationship with said supplier...

...doesnt jit work better if you have good relationships with them and they know well what your expectations are and can adjust accordingly?
