It is very important in business/production to do everything just in time in order to save money and resources. Actually as a result of this idea the Just in time theory was elaborated. This theory originated in Japanese industry says that materials should be delivered into production when they are actually required (as soon as previous batch of materials has been already processed and moved to the next stage).
The point of just in time method is to avoid passive units that expect processing or work - there is no standing idle equipment and workers, so they stay effective all the time, and no accumulation of materials and inventories, so warehousing costs are reduced. Just in time theory stands for careful planning of time and workflow organization, so moving of products through the manufacturing process and delivery from suppliers can be managed on schedule. In other words the meaning of the method is to have only the necessary material at the necessary place at the necessary time without standstills, waiting and accumulations.
