In Operations management, the principles for Just in Time (JIT) when delivering a product or service require consistency, excellence, and trust. When anyone orders a product off the Internet the customer is trusting the supplier will provide quality and on time delivery. In lean operations, the five principles are: Identify customer values, Focus on processes that create value, Eliminate waste to create “flow.”, Produce only according to customer demand, and Strive for perfection (Stevenson, 2018). These principles help focus on methods by eliminating waste-using the building blocks to support goals that eventually lead to the ultimate goal. The event response capability in lean production is critical because it helps detect and respond quickly to unplanned events.

The principles of JIT help the buyer more than anything due to lower costs. JIT may be viewed as an integrative strategy facilitating timeliness and quality not only in production, but also in supply and distribution(Hall, 1987Arnold and Bernard, 1989Lee and Seah, 1988Davy et al., 1992). This is one way to apply these principles to those methodologies. The procurement relies on external factors quality, quantity, and timing. It is reliable and helps the business make profits.

In response to the discussion, I agree that the principles for Just in Time (JIT) enhance efficiency in meeting the customer’s demands at the required time. In the competitive business scene, firms not only focus on the quality of products or the prices they offer based on the needs in the market, but they are also focusing on time-based competition (Green, Inman, Birou, & Whitten, 2014). Customers today are more time-sensitive in terms of service delivery and reliability. Considering that companies must adapt to the new changing needs of their customers, the principles of JIT comes in handy.

At first, businesses must understand the perspectives of their customers and incorporate them into their value chain. According to Green et al., (2014), developing a good relationship with clients helps companies to offer information about products that can be delivered on time depending on their availability…
