4. 1. What is JIT? briefly mention its history & five main features?
Answer :
Just-in-time (JIT) is an inventory strategy companies employ to increase efficiency and
decrease waste by receiving goods only as they are needed in the production process, thereby
reducing inventory costs.
History : Henry Ford who applied Just in Time principles to manage inventory in the Ford
Automobile Company during the early part of the 20th Century, the origins of the JIT as a
management strategy traces to Taiichi Onho of the Toyota Manufacturing Company.
Five main feature :
1. Continuous improvement in quality, quantity and cost.
2. Elimination of waste.
3. Reduction in inventory level.
4. Set up time reduction increase flexibility.
5. Cost saving.

5. Reducing waste of transportation.

9. 5. Is it possible JIT in Bangladesh? Constructs 10
reasoning based on your logic.
Answer :
