Some time ago there was a TV series where a Management Consultant (do they
deserve capitals? Or captital punishment?) went to various companies and
one was Morgan, famous for their six-year waiting list. He was looking
round the parts shed with an old-timer in a brown coat and asked him "How do
you know when to order more parts?". The old chap replied, "Well, I look at
the shelves and if I think something is getting low I order some more." MC
said "Ah, a visual stock control system". The old chap looked as if he had
never heard of such a thing, but I bet he knew exactly what he had got,
where it was, and never ran out of anything. Mind you, I bet he was the
only one who did.
