Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

JIT, or Just-in-Time, is a manufacturing philosophy that strives to minimize inventory levels by only ordering materials and supplies as they are needed for production. Therefore, holding inventory goes against the concept of JIT. Instead, JIT relies on strategies such as total preventive maintenance, total quality control, and working closely with suppliers to ensure the timely delivery of necessary materials and reduce the risk of shortages leading to shutdowns.
