OUR MISSION

We help clients to create and sustain flow in their supply chain, using the principles of just-in-time (JIT). So they can deliver on-time in-full, at the lowest possible cost, with only the minimum required inventory on-hand.

FEATURED PRODUCT

Our new demand analysis application bundle. Get instant insight into demand volumes (ABC/Pareto, Glenday’s Sieve), variability (XYZ/SPC), takt-time, frequency, lead times, and delivery reliability.

JUST-IN-TIME

Learn to make only what is needed, when it is needed, and only in the amount needed. By using kanban, one-piece flow, and heijunka. And develop mastery of the three core elements of JIT.

OUR VALUE PROPOSITION

We provide e-learning and training, educational materials and academy services, assessments and computer-aided simulations, and implementation support, tools, and templates.

I’m not sure JIT will work for us...

We can help answer this question, with apt production system assessments, or using (bespoke, if required) dynamic, computer-aided simulation models.

I hesitate, as JIT seems to be a tough nut...

Sure, transforming into a JIT company isn’t an easy task. But we have over 20 years of experience and can guide you with consulting, coaching and provide practical tools.
