  - 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.
