🇺🇸 Air Force Lt. Gen. Michael Schmidt, the current head of the F-35 Joint Program Office (JPO) raised very logical concerns on the just-in-time logistic concept for the aircraft. Such concept is very common in commercial aviation and focuses on modelling and predicting the average need of spare parts for specific aircrafts and subsystems of those, connecting the raw materials supply chains to the end product's ones in order to cut costs and improve efficiency.

However this system Is problematic in peacetime and can be catastrophic in war time, since a single link of the supply chain having any sort of problem could result in lots of aircrafts idle for a significant amount of time and thus severely impacting sortie rates. This Is further worsened by the fact that F-35 jets across most of its users continue to exist in many subconfigurations, both in terms of hardware and software.

The differences between very early jets and more recent production examples are so significant that it has become cost prohibitive ti continue to upgrade many of the former aircraft. In any case the situation is slowly recovering with a shift to performance based contracts for logistics and many efforts to stabilize the configurations distribution.
