JIT
Explanation:
"flux tirés" is the same as "flux tendus" or "juste à temps" in production (and probably logistics).
Which translates as "just-in-time" (JIT), according to my dics. (Lexique EN>FR des termes relatifs à la qualité), but surely other sources.

Here, we would have: "The philosophy (...) is a just-in-time [or JIT] delivery system.
