Expensive and wasteful in engineering time it is necessary unless large stocks of spares and long lead items are held.

While it was ever thus (except largely with the V-Force deterrent) it was made far worse by the Broon One with resource accounting and the rush to minimise capital waste sitting unused on a shelf. 'Just in time' don't work every time.
