Just in time
Just in time (JIT) is a production strategy that strives to improve a business' return on investment by reducing in-process inventory and associated carrying costs. To meet JIT objectives, the process relies on signals or Kanban between different points, which are involved in the process, which tell production when to make the next part. Kanban are usually 'tickets' but can be simple visual signals, such as the presence or absence of a part on a shelf. Implemented correctly, JIT focuses on continuous improvement and can improve a manufacturing organization's return on investment, quality, and efficiency. To achieve continuous improvement key areas of focus could be flow, employee involvement and quality.

: Whereas the abbreviation does have that meaning, in this context I have more than just doubts, as JIT is an adjective and not a countable noun.

: Doesn't seem to make any sense in this context. Just because we know it as one thing doesn't mean those initials can never serve in another meaning

Discussion
Are there any capitalised words beginning with "J"? ... At first glance it would appear they are physical sites/buildings/structures of some sort. It might also be useful to know the country and/or its language, as that might have a bearing.
