π JUST IN TIME (JIT): INVENTORY MINIMIZATION
Zero inventories? Just in Time (JIT) brings you closer to that dream.
JIT is a philosophy that seeks to produce and deliver goods only when they are needed, minimizing costs associated with inventory. It requires reliable processes and trusted suppliers.
Key Points
- Produce and deliver only when needed π―
- Minimizes inventory costs π°
- Requires reliable processes and reliable suppliers π€
Practical Example: A bicycle assembler implemented JIT with 3 key suppliers. Components arrive 2 hours before assembly. Reduced inventory from 45 days to 3 days, freeing up $180,000 in working capital.
Reflection: Do you dare to use JIT in your operation?
