Pioneers in lean manufacturing systems Established in 1982, JIT Automation Inc. was an early proponent of Lean Manufacturing in North America. Our founder, Osamu (Sam) Oishi, worked with North American businesses, particularly the Big Three U.S. automakers, to establish Japanese-inspired but North American-applied innovation, which proved essential to the success of the industry. With the introduction of the Just in Time philosophy coupled with our Total Quick Die Change (TQDC) and Total Quick Mold Change (TQMC) systems, our now global clientele have recovered billions in additional profits over the past three decades. Automation solutions that increase speed, efficiency, and productivity The JIT approach to these technologies has been expanded to include such meaningful techniques as Total Product Maintenance (TPM), and Set-Up Time Reduction programs. In all of these cases, we are motivated by the need and desire to assist our clients in the pursuit of manufacturing excellence. As an industry-established supplier of Japanese die and mold exchange technologies, JIT Automation Inc. offers a full range of hydraulically-activated piston and lever clamps, as well as high-speed pumps, valves, and power units. Our product range is further expanded with the inclusion of hydraulic and spring-loaded die lifters and bolster extensions, automated die carts, auto-couplers, and slide locks.
