UPM excels in working with their customers in adhering to JIT/KanBan practices.

Just In Time (JIT) is an inventory 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 (KanBan) between different points in the process, which tells production when to make the next part.

Implemented correctly, JIT/KanBan can dramatically improve a manufacturing organization's return on investment, quality and efficient by substantially reducing product lead times.
