Just-in-Sequence (JIS)

Just-in-Sequence (JIS) is a supply chain management approach where components or parts are delivered to a manufacturing line in the exact order they are needed for assembly. This strategy enhances efficiency by minimizing inventory storage and reducing wait times for parts. By synchronizing deliveries with the production schedule, manufacturers can streamline their operations, decrease waste, and improve overall productivity. JIS is often used in industries like automotive manufacturing, where multiple parts must be assembled in a precise sequence to ensure quality and speed in production.
