Just In Time Manufacturing for the Automotive Industry 

 

In the automotive supply chain world, Just in Time (JIT) production is arranging regular, small deliveries of exactly the correct amount required, which was pioneered by automotive manufacturer Toyota.

With our speed, agility, and expertise, Speedy Freight is adept at delivering same day and next day for the automotive industry that relies on receiving the specific number of parts required, exactly when needed.  

In the automotive manufacturing industry, it is crucial that the assembly line be stocked with the number of all required parts, so that any type of ordered vehicle can be assembled quickly and efficiently. 

A vehicle ordered by a customer must be completed as quickly as possible, and to maintain and receive the required number of parts on hand, many automotive manufacturers entrust same day couriers such as Speedy Freight to keep them moving.
