Just in time, or JIT, is an operations management or inventory control system that aims to reduce wasted resources by minimising inventory. It coordinates demand and supply by purchasing, transporting and processing materials ‘just in time’ for when they are needed in the manufacturing process.

JIT should NOT be adopted with all suppliers as this is not practical. It should be adopted when appropriate because any disruption in a JIT system, such as supplies arriving late, will have a knock-on effect which can bring the whole process to a standstill.
