Just-in-Time (JIT) seat sequencing automates the critical handoff between an OEM's order system and a tier-1 supplier's Manufacturing Execution System (MES). This workflow eliminates the manual coordination, buffer inventory, and sequencing errors that plague mixed-model assembly. The operational upside comes from slashing line-side storage, preventing costly mismatches (e.g., a black seat in a white car), and enabling true build-to-order personalization without halting the line. Savings materialize through reduced premium freight, lower inventory carrying costs, and the elimination of rework and line stoppages.
