By moving quickly we will capture substantial savings this year, and be positioned to reap even greater cost savings in fiscal 2000 and beyond,

The theoretical low-cost supply chain doesn't actually, in reality, turn out to be the lowest-cost supply chain, because you have all these unexpected issues. Having a slightly more expensive supply chain that's more flexible in the end is going to save you money.

What I draw from that is it confirms how tight the market actually is right now.

The art is figuring out how to run the supply chain as efficiently as possible, while dealing with both types of products. Are all products treated as regulated material?
