PFI’s JIT Inventory Management keeps your packaging supply in sync with production — never too soon, never too late. We store materials offsite and deliver on demand, freeing space, reducing waste, and improving cash flow with lean, efficient, just-in-time packaging.
Just-In-Time (JIT) Inventory Management is a proactive system that keeps your packaging supply perfectly aligned with your production schedule. PFI tracks your usage patterns, manages replenishment, and delivers materials exactly when they’re needed. To ensure reliability and flexibility, we maintain a 30–60 day supply of your packaging off-site, ready to respond instantly to unexpected spikes in production or demand. This streamlined approach eliminates overstock, reduces carrying costs, and improves cash flow, keeping your operations lean, efficient, and always prepared.
We begin with a detailed assessment of your packaging requirements, production flow, and delivery needs. Our experts identify inefficiencies, bottlenecks, and cost-saving opportunities to design a JIT program tailored to your operation.
PFI defines key packaging SKUs, delivery frequency, and storage allocation. We coordinate logistics and stocking procedures to ensure each item is delivered precisely when needed, without excess inventory sitting idle.
Our team sets up offsite storage and tracking systems, ensuring your packaging is organized and ready for on-demand delivery. Once active, your JIT program operates seamlessly with your production schedule.
We deliver packaging materials precisely when they’re needed: daily, weekly, or on demand, keeping your production line moving and your warehouse clutter-free. Each delivery is timed for peak efficiency and zero downtime.

Streamline your packaging supply chain with PFI’s Just-In-Time Inventory Management program. Keep your materials moving, reduce storage costs, and ensure packaging arrives exactly when needed.
PFI’s Just-In-Time (JIT) program ensures packaging materials are delivered exactly when you need them. We manage offsite storage, monitor usage, and deliver on schedule to match your production flow, helping reduce warehouse storage, waste, and inventory costs.
While both programs reduce waste and improve supply reliability, JIT focuses on delivering packaging just before it’s needed, keeping inventory lean. VMI maintains onsite stock levels. Many PFI clients combine both for full control and flexibility.
