That was a problem when I worked for Xerox. Back then, your parts drop would come to a central location. If you ordered a part with Emergency priority, and it was out of stock, you'd get the next higher subassembly.

So a guy who worked on the 9000 series (HUGE) duplicators ordered a bearing, which was out of stock, and the next higher sub assembly was the frame . . .
