Mike,Yes,it would depend on the size of the operation but,following "modern" guide lines J-I-T seems to be a standard method of receiving production supplies since nobody seems interested in having in house warehousing for production material.
I recall when Swan Hose was going 24/7 covered hoppers of carbon black would arrive daily.After Swan closed their Banbury department rubber arrived by truck 24/7.Rail shipments dried up for 2-3 years and returned with loads of plasticizer.This lasted until the plant closed around 5 years ago.
