Just-In-Time (JIT) manufacturing is a management philosophy focused on waste elimination within production processes. By systematically reducing inefficiencies related to inventory, set-up time, inspection, and more, JIT fosters enhanced product quality, increased flexibility, and improved delivery performance. Key pillars of JIT include total quality management, vendor relations, and employee involvement. Companies adopting JIT can drastically reduce lead times and inventory levels, resulting in significant cost savings and efficiency gains. Explore JIT's critical principles and transformative benefits for modern manufacturing.
