Pedantic comment: is that not what lean is about? Or is "lean" and jit essentially the same thing?
- hef19898 5y agoJIT, as Kanban, is part of the Toyota Production System. It is also called Lean nowadays, or simply TPS. The basic principles go back to the US defence industry in WW2, on one hand, and some ingenious ideas from the old Toyota company manufacturing looms. I also see some of these ideas, tacted assembly lines for example, as far back the Venetian Arsenal cranking out Galleons and Galleasses in unprecedented numbers in the 16th (?) century.
