- Definition set of principles and practices based on the philosophy that firms should hold little or no inventory beyond that required for immediate production or distribution, expressed as a holistic management system aimed at reducing waste, maximizing cost efficiency, and securing a competitive advantage, while aiming for continuous improvement and respect for all workers Reference "Advameg, Inc.

- Comment "Just-in-time production is characterised by aspects such as small lot sizes, short setup and changeover times, efficient and effective quality controls, and perhaps most of all, designing the whole production process to minimise backups and maximise the efficiency of human and machine labour.A manufacturer should receive raw materials or parts from its suppliers perhaps just hours before they will be used in production, and the firm's output should be shipped to its customers as soon after completion as possible—without holding onto a stock of either raw goods or finished products.[Source: Advameg, Inc.
