German term or phrase: im Takt der Montage
talking about assembly lines:

Da reicht es nicht, nur Teile anzuliefern - sie müssen vielmehr exakt im Takt der Montage am Band eintreffen.

I can't seem to think of anything suitable. Can anyone help?

Thanks for all your input. I decided to go with John's 'in the correct sequence to match the assembly line schedule'. Many thanks. And Tony: of course you're right about JIS - that's spelt out in following sentence ;-)

JIS - just-in-sequence


Explanation:
If you use this, you may have to change the sentence around a bit.

-------
"Zwei Begriffe dominieren die gesamte moderne Logistik - "Just-in-time" (JIT) und "Just-in-sequence" (JIS).
Während bei der Just-in-time-Anlieferung der Haupteffekt darin besteht, den Puffer am Verbauort/Produktionsstelle möglichst gering zu halten, geht die Just-in-sequence-Anlieferung sogar soweit, dass das Material in der exakt erforderlichen Reihenfolge genau zum Verbrauchszeitpunkt an das Montageband geliefert wird."
