Basic elements of Just In Time The basic elements of Just In Time (JIT) were developed by Toyota in the 1950 ’s‚ known as the Toyota Production System (TPS). JIT was well-established in many Japanese factories by the early 1970 ’s. JIT began to be adopted in the U.S. in the 1980 ’s (General Electric was an early adopter)‚ and the JIT/lean concepts are now widely accepted and used. There have ten basic elements in Just In time which are flexible resource‚ efficient facility layout‚ pull production
