Just-in-Time (JIT)

What is it?
Production is based on customer demand rather than forecast demand. Materials are supplied just in time, in the right quantity and quality. JIT is based on many Lean tools, such as Continuous Flow, Heijunka, Kanban, Standardized Work, and Takt Time.

How can I help?
Highly effective in reducing inventory levels and processing times. Improves cash flow and reduces required space.
