0 A just-in-time system of manufacturing (= producing goods) is based on preventing waste by producing only the amount of goods needed at a particular time, and not paying to produce and store more goods than are needed. --
1 relating to a manufacturing system in which parts and materials are delivered when they are needed, rather than before. Just-in-time systems reduce the cost of storing parts and materials and reduce waste: --
Selling direct to customers means the company can buy components on a just-in-time basis.
However, we must not simply take a 'just-in-time' approach.
Almost everyone has heard of those practices: quality circles and just-in-time delivery are already part of everyday speech.
In the commercial sector, just-in-time delivery systems – the backbone of modern industrial supply – will also be jeopardised due to the lack of drivers.
Firstly, we have industrial strategies favouring road transport and 'just-in-time' management, resulting in a greater number of journeys and greater dispersal and fragmentation.
These findings show how increases in articulatory speed can arise from just-in-time access to articulatory forms, as well as improvements in lexical organization around onset syllable structures.
This increased prominence of the onset can be viewed as one component of a just-in-time, incrementalist approach to speech production that allows adults to speak more fluently than children.
A characterisation of the general problem of coordination of just-in-time production and distribution is followed by a short survey on approaches to optimisation of supply-chain management.
It is a just-in-time manufacturing system that eliminates inventory and the costs associated with the management and administration of the inventory, eliminating out-of-stock and out-of-print books.
