Just-in-time (JIT) is a production philosophy that calls for creating goods only as needed. The goal of JIT is to minimize inventory costs by reducing the amount of time that goods spend sitting on shelves or in warehouses.
JIT production relies on a smooth and efficient supply chain that can deliver materials and components on an as-needed basis. This requires close coordination between suppliers and manufacturers and careful planning to ensure that the necessary resources are available when needed.
The benefits of JIT include lower inventory costs, reduced waste, and improved quality control. JIT can also lead to faster turnaround and shorter lead times, which can be a significant competitive advantage.
However, JIT production can be disrupted by delays in the supply chain, changes in customer demand, and other unexpected events. As a result, JIT-based businesses must carefully manage their operations to avoid disruptions.
