Just-In-Time (JIT) assembly

Just-In-Time (JIT) assembly is a manufacturing strategy that produces and assembles parts only when needed, minimizing inventory and reducing waste. Instead of stockpiling large quantities of components, JIT systems coordinate closely with suppliers to receive parts exactly when they are required for production. This approach improves efficiency, lowers costs, and enhances flexibility by reducing storage space and the risk of excess inventory becoming obsolete. JIT is widely used in industries like automotive manufacturing, where timely delivery and streamlined processes are critical for maintaining quality and competitiveness.
