The Just-In-Time (JIT) production system is a production system that supports production of many models in small quantities as opposed to a planned mass production system. This system, which has been developed for many years mainly by Toyota Motor Corporation, has two pillars: Just-In-Time and autonomation, and is made from a flow in which a later process takes what is needed from an earlier process, starting from product demand, in terms of inventory and intra-process logistics. These have been studied and applied worldwide, and are affecting industries in the United States and other countries, through methods such as Lean production system and Six Sigma (6σ). Japan Association for Management Systems recommends the JIT production system for Kototsukuri-Collection.
