Just in time

Also known as: JIT

Just-in-time coordinates supply closely with the moment goods are needed. It aims to reduce intermediate stock and waste through coordinated flows, not blindly order only after everything runs out.[1]

Small frequent deliveries require reliable suppliers and processes. Examine the effect of delays on customer orders before reducing buffers. Lower inventory helps only if the wider chain can sustain the required availability.
