Just-In-Time (JIT) Defined
JIT can be defined as an integrated set of activities
designed to achieve high-volume production using
minimal inventories (raw materials, work in process,
and finished goods).
JIT also involves the elimination of waste in
production effort.
JIT also involves the timing of production resources
(e.g., parts arrive at the next workstation “just in
time”). Truong Ba Huy
