Just-in-sequence
When goods are delivered just-in-sequence (JIS), the supplier brings them to the recipient at a particular time and in a pre-determined sequence. This type of supply system is used particularly in the automotive industry. An example is steering wheels that are delivered to the assembly line in the same sequence in which they are to be installed.
Just-in-time
"Just-in-time" is a transport service in which the delivery of goods is carried out at a particular point in time. The customer determines when and to which location the goods are to be delivered. JIT is frequently used in production logistics in order to implement production synchronized procurement. With this system, it is possible to avoid using intermediate storage facilities and, as a result, to lower costs.
