What is Just in Sequence

Just in Sequence (JIS) is an advanced supply chain management method that combines the principles of Just in Time (JIT) with the precise sequencing of component deliveries. JIS is primarily used in the automotive industry and other sectors where efficiency and minimal inventory are crucial. The goal of JIS is to deliver the necessary components to the production line not only just in time but also in the exact order they will be used in assembly.

Just in Sequence serves several key objectives:

• Reduce inventory: Minimizing the amount of stored parts and components reduces storage costs and increases manufacturing efficiency.
• Increase production efficiency: Delivering components in the correct sequence allows for smooth production without interruptions or delays.
• Better synchronization with production processes: It enables better coordination between suppliers and production lines.
• Flexibility and quick response to changes: It allows quick responses to changes in demand and adapts to customer requirements.

Examples of Just in Sequence Use

• Automotive industry: Automakers use JIS for delivering components like seats, dashboards, and other parts that must be assembled in a specific order.
• Electronics: Electronics manufacturers use JIS to optimize the delivery of components needed for assembling complex devices.
• Consumer goods: Consumer goods manufacturers apply JIS for delivering packaging materials and other components that are assembled or packed on the production line.

Just in Sequence is an effective supply chain management method that allows optimization of production and cost reduction through precise coordination of component deliveries. Although implementing JIS can be challenging and requires close cooperation with suppliers and the use of advanced technologies, its benefits in increasing efficiency, improving quality, and quickly responding to changes are significant.
