    - The main principle of JIT is to produce when and what is needed. It also considers the quantity needed.
    - JIT (Just-In-Time) aims at eliminating wastage of labour, time and cost of excessive inventory.
    - JIT is a pull type system. In this system, production originates only when an order is received.

    Advantages of using this manufacturing philosophy are :

    1) It requires less storage space
    2) Checking of input stock requires less time.
    3) Defects are easily sorted and thus requires less reworking cost.

    Disadvantages of using this manufacturing philosophy are:

    1) Less spare stock is available for rectification.
    2) They do not contain spare finished goods if any unexpected order is received.
    3) Sometimes it leads to customer dissatisfaction.
