Just in time manufacturing is a theory of manufacturing whereby both incoming and outgoing inventories are kept to an absolute minimum. Instead of having a large warehouse of parts on hand, parts arrive on the day they are to be used for assembly, and product is shipped immediately after assembly.
Just-in-time-manufacturing requires use of advanced logistics, since the assembly process can be starved when parts don't arrive in time or bottleneck when product is not shipped in time.
