Isn't the problem that is is not easy to scale some things up and down? This sounds a lot like no true scotsman.

The claim is more that they are bad planners, orthogonal from whether they use JIT or not.

They're not doing proper supply management. You can do proper supply management with JIT or without JIT. You can also do improper supply management with JIT or without JIT.

For it to be "no true scotsman" they would have to be claiming that "doing JIT" is a solution to supply management. And they're not claiming that.

I guess you are partly right, but parent said "proper JIT" would work well without any evidence to what that means. Surely not everyone is doing the "improper" JIT.
