Just in Time

Deutsch: Gerade rechtzeitig / Español: Justo a Tiempo / Português: Justo a Tempo / Français: Juste à Temps / Italiano: Appena in tempo /

Just in Time (JIT) is the cornerstone philosophy of Lean Manufacturing and MRP.

Using the just-in-time philosophy, raw materials arrive no earlier than they are required to reduce costs and inefficiencies associated with large inventory.

This production strategy was developed by Toyota and is a method to reduce flow times within production as well as response times from suppliers and to customers.
