"No slack" will not work

Any enterprise that operates on a "just get by" basis is doomed for failure. Even skyscrapers have some play in their structure - or they will not stand. When we configure a business with no slack built into the operations, we are by definition saying that they are doomed for failure or that they are shoving ALL the responsibility for providing the slack onto their customers and/or suppliers.
