Because work is assigned to each operation rather than to the entire system, as in JIT, there is no need for more work in process than what is actually being worked on. Inventory can also be placed near the bottleneck to avoid any shutdown in this crucial operation, and sometimes, unlike the case with JIT, there may even be a quality control inspector to check the bottleneck operation's input.
