More and more of those companies have come to realize that instead of cutting staff or sacrificing quality of product, JIT allows a way to save just as much money, if not more, while maintaining the workforce and the quality of the product or service. Because JIT processes as applied to inventory reduces inventory to essentially insignificant levels and groups materials according to product lines rather than operational functions, it changes what were indirect, overhead costs to direct product costs.
