I’m not sure that JIT is any less green than old fashioned methods? Could you say why you think so, Barry?
JIT requires components to make many journeys (some long) before final assembly. Surely a more localised supply chain would eliminate this?
I think the days of rampant moneymaking may have peaked although business will have to be dragged kicking and screaming into the new era.
@ 500mtrs from Nissan Gates, I am aware that @ 2014 all JIT to Nissan Factory was reduced from 40mins to 20mins, hence a friend of mine had previously bought a 50000sqft factory in 2007 for £1.1M and sold 2016 for £6M, it is directly across the road from Vantec & Nissan, probably @
1mile from Factory Gates.
Although Sunderland Council has been Labour run for many years I do have to praise them for their efforts with making this work.
