Just-In-Time Processing

Just-In-Time (JIT) describes a process which is able to provide exactly what is needed when it is needed. This minimizes inventory stock or idle time while maintaining perfect delivery performance. Our JIT model is displayed graphically below.

As you move up the model, effort and materiel waste is reduced and processes become more predictable in producing the output. It is still important to perform a CPR analysis to insure that you are not just finding a faster way to make products that lose you money.
