J-I-T in logistics management

[Rhayner]

Yes. J-I-T or just in time is a strategy of production. It aims at fostering continous improvement in production and can help in the betterment of a manufacturing unit’s return on investment,quality and efficiency. This can be brought about by smooth flow of operations, greater involvement of employees and better quality products. This process is based on the Japanese concept of Kanban which informs the system of production when to move on to the next step in the process after completion of one step. Kanban can be in t he form of visual signals Eg. An empty shelf or a filled shelf in a factory which indicates the next step. J-I-T ensures production and delivery of goods just in time without any delay or gap between one process and another one.
