They normally keep a a month or two worth at the plant I used to take trains into which is pretty standard.

The other day someone claimed their local plant said they would shut down within days without deliveries and I kind of chuckled as that is not the norm by any means.

eta-I mean look at it this way. If the rotary dumper breaks down it's not like you go to Autozone for parts. It may be down for some time so you need to keep a stockpile on hand.

Same as if the mines or railroads go on strike.
