Just in Time (JIT) philosophy emphasizes reducing in-process inventory and associated carrying costs, aiming to improve return on investment by reducing non-value-added activities. It involves producing only what is needed, when it is needed. Concurrent problem solving is a practice aligned with JIT, as it involves solving problems as they occur, preventing delays and reducing waste, which is central to JIT's goals. SPC (Statistical Process Control) is more about quality control, MRP II (Manufacturing Resource Planning) focuses on planning all resources of a manufacturing company, and Push manufacturing is contrary to JIT, as it involves producing goods in anticipation of demand rather than in response to it.
