Many years ago, in grad school, 5% carbon-comp resistors were "free" from the electronics shop, since they were too low-priced to make billing economical.
I specifically remember using 9,100 (and decades above and below) because the unimaginative users grabbed all the 10,000 (and decades above and below) from the bin.

Hahaha that's why I am using up 9.1k and 11k from my resistor prototyping kit :)

Amazingly Bosch 9DoF IMUs are back in stock at both Digi-Key and Mouser and the stock has been present for weeks.  Miracles do happen.

--- Quote ---JIT never really existed. It is a euphemism for a big company (customer) shafting a small company (supplier) into keeping stock free of charge. In electronics especially, it can't work.

It can work in a well managed supply chain under very specific circumstances. We had a study mission to see how Lexus manage their Tier 1 and Tier 2 supply chain. It really was JIT, 15 minute delivery intervals, zero warehousing anywhere in the chain. They visit and train their suppliers not to keep inventory beyond a 4 hour buffer stock. The whole thing

The one exception was the electronics factory, even back in 2019 they had 6 months stock on some items, this was considered sacrilege by some of the mission leaders and demonstrates just how different this industry is.

Not even the factory that produces, for example, plastic parts for the cars?
Factories have parallel production lines for every part separate? How is that possible?
