There is a growing need for seamless learning and working, yet existing on‑the‑job training may not meet future organizational demands, and just‑in‑time training—rooted in manufacturing scheduling—has emerged as a potential solution. This chapter investigates whether current on‑the‑job training models are adequate and proposes just‑in‑time training to bring instruction closer to immediate needs. Just‑in‑time training is defined as a variant of planned on‑the‑job training that emphasizes tighter proximity between the need and the delivery of training. The problem and the solution.

This chapter discusses just-in-time training as a variant of planned on-the-job training, but with a greater emphasis on attaining an even greater proximity between the need and the delivery of the training. Just-in-time training is an emerging concept that derives much of its meaning from using the in regards to the scheduling and production in manufacturing settings.
