JIT - Just In Time

Just-in-Time (JIT) inventory management is a strategy where retailers stock minimal inventory, ordering goods only as needed to meet customer demand. Originating from Toyota’s production system, JIT reduces storage costs, minimizes waste, and enhances efficiency by aligning inventory with sales. It relies on accurate demand forecasting, reliable suppliers, and streamlined logistics to ensure timely deliveries. Ideal for retail with predictable demand, JIT improves cash flow but risks stockouts during supply chain disruptions, making it suitable for lean operations, though it requires robust supplier coordination.
