Moderne Großküchen sind dadurch logistisch

Just in time production (JIT)
Just in time is a ‘pull’ system of production, so actual orders provide a signal for when a product should be manufactured. Demand-pull enables a firm to produce only what is required, in the correct quantity and at the correct time.

Just-in-Time" Production

The philosophy behind "just-in-time" is not to sell products produced, but to produce products to replenish those that have been sold. Just-in-time production supplies the right parts at the right time and in the right amount at every step in the process. The system also exposes problems that may not be apparent by excess inventories.

Produktionskonzept, bei dem die Lagerhaltung von Rohstoffen und Zwischenprodukten am Produktionsort auf ein absolutes Minimum reduziert wird und diese zeitgerecht für den weiteren Produktionsprozess angeliefert werden; die Just-in-time-Produktion stellt hohe Anforderungen an die Pünktlichkeit und Flexibilität der Transporte.

agree  Henry Schroeder: It definitely refers to this kind of time, though I'm not wildly enthusiastic about "just-in-time" as an adjective.

neutral  Colin Newberry: OK, "JIT" (abbreviated or not, fully acceptable as an adjective), but "production"?. "Grossküche" or not that makes it sound more like swill for the pigs.

timely production/production in good time


Explanation:
I don't think with the stress "Großküchen" are under, they need additional stress by being ready just-in time, timely production or production in good time seems, therefore, much more appropriate.

disagree  Béatrice Öman: Sorry, but this whole "zeitgerecht" thing has been taken up by industrial engineering and lean management, so I think it's safe to say that just-in-time is idiomatic in terms of production, whether it's a good choice in terms of kitchens or not
