just in time




Just In Time at wikipedia.

For the Sunshine Organics site, I had to come up with a description for items from local grocery suppliers who delivery exactly the number of items on Wednesday morning that the customers have ordered over the weekend. I looked around for a good metaphor, for a while I used "direct_order", but now I call those GroceryItems "jit_items", for Just In Time items.

That article about JIT on wikipedia is just fascinating, a really good read, actually.
