# JIT — Just-In-Time Production Reference

Quick-reference skill for Just-In-Time manufacturing principles, pull systems, and inventory optimization.

## When to Use

- Implementing pull-based production systems
- Calculating takt time and balancing production lines
- Setting up kanban card systems and supermarkets
- Reducing work-in-process inventory levels
- Transitioning from push (MRP) to pull scheduling

## Commands

### `intro`

```bash
scripts/script.sh intro
```

Overview of JIT — origins in Toyota Production System, core principles, push vs pull.

### `pillars`

```bash
scripts/script.sh pillars
```

The foundational pillars of JIT: continuous flow, takt time, pull system, zero inventory target.

### `kanban`

```bash
scripts/script.sh kanban
```

Kanban card systems — types, sizing formulas, rules, two-bin and multi-bin setups.

### `takt`

```bash
scripts/script.sh takt
```

Takt time calculation, line balancing, and cycle time alignment.

### `leveling`

```bash
scripts/script.sh leveling
```

Heijunka (production leveling) — smoothing volume and product mix, heijunka box.

### `suppliers`

```bash
scripts/script.sh suppliers
```

JIT supplier relationships — milk runs, frequent deliveries, supplier development.

### `barriers`

```bash
scripts/script.sh barriers
```

Common JIT implementation barriers and countermeasures.

### `checklist`

```bash
scripts/script.sh checklist
```

JIT readiness assessment checklist for evaluating current state.

### `help`

```bash
scripts/script.sh help
```

### `version`

```bash
scripts/script.sh version
```
