Ever wondered how Toyota, a company that started as a humble loom manufacturer, rose to become one of the world's largest and most respected automakers? While numerous factors contributed to their success, the implementation of JIT logistics, often considered a cornerstone of the Toyota Production System (TPS), played a pivotal role.

So, grab your favorite Sunday brew, and let's unpack this seemingly straightforward yet profoundly impactful approach. We'll explore its core principles, understand how Toyota made it their own, and, most importantly, see what valuable takeaways we can apply to our own professional journeys, whether we're in supply chain, procurement, or any field striving for efficiency.
