A book called End of the Line: The Rise and Coming Fall of the Global Corporation, by Barry C. Lynn suggests that global corporations have become globally lean by using JIT, identifying and eliminating non-value-added activities through outsourcing, and taking advantage of deregulation by countries around the world. However, Lynn contends that the systems are so specialized that a relatively small glitch in production on the far side of the world has the potential to be devastating to the American economy. He suggests that laws are needed that would require companies to triple-source supplies and services from two or more nations.
