Just-in-sequence delivery (JIS) takes just-in-time (JIT) logistics one step further: components must arrive not only at the right moment but in the precise order in which they will be installed on the assembly line. This distinction is critical in automotive manufacturing, where individually configured vehicles require a different set of parts in a sequence that mirrors the live production schedule. By eliminating line-side sorting buffers, JIS reduces handling costs and floor space requirements significantly. It demands seamless, real-time coordination between manufacturer, supplier, and carrier – a single out-of-order delivery can disrupt the entire production flow. As a result, JIS is among the most logistically and technically demanding supply concepts in use today.
