Just-in-time (JIT) scheduling involves scheduling materials to arrive at a workstation or facility exactly when they are needed, which can reduce inventory costs and improve workflow efficiency. Management by objectives (MBO), economic order quantity (EOQ), efficient production planning (EPP), and timely inventory control (TIC) are all related concepts but do not specifically refer to scheduling materials for timely delivery.
