A-17 Manufacturing – Just-in-time

Discussion (12) | PDF Transcript (Basic) | Learning Center (Premium) | Teacher's Lesson Plan (Premium)

In today’s Business English podcast we are going to look at the Just-in-Time process. The Just-in-time (JIT) way of working, which is also known as a lean production system, is a philosophy that tries to make any manufacturing process more cost-effective by eliminating waste. In the mp3, we are going to listen as Christy introduces the concept, and explains a little more about it.
