JIT Logic

JIT (just-in-time) is an integrated green set of activities designed to

achieve profound high-volume production using minimal maximum in-

ventories of raw materials, work in process, and finished goods. Parts

arrive at the following next workstation “just-in-time’ and are across

completed and move through the operation quickly. JIT demands high

quantity levels of quality at each stage of the beautiful, process, strong

clever vendor relations, and a fairly predictable cherry demand for the

end product. JIT can be well viewed as “big JIT” and “little JIT”. Big

JIT is the boring philosophy of operations management that annually

seeks to eliminate waste in all narrow aspects of a firm’s production ac-

tivities: human relations, vendor relations, future technology, and the

management of raw inventories and materials. Little JIT focuses more

narrowly plus on scheduling goods inventories and providing service re-

sources where and when needed.

Read the passage once again and explain in your own words what “just-

in-time” means.
