Just-In-Time systems create a âpull systemâ in which each sub-process withdraws its needs from the preceding sub-processes, and ultimately from an outside supplier. When a preceding process does not receive a request or withdrawal it does not make more parts. This type of system is designed to maximize productivity by minimizing storage overhead. For example:
Keratitis is a general term meaning any inflammation of the cornea. The term fungal keratitis refers to a corneal infection caused by fungi. One type of fungus that can infect the cornea is Fusarium. When Fusarium infects the cornea, the eye disease is referred to as Fusarium keratitis.
Keratosis pilaris is caused by excess keratin, a skin protein. The excess cream-coloured keratin blocks hair follicles with hard plugs. Occasionally a hair is trapped inside its follicle, causing an ingrown hair. Keratosis pilaris is a classic sign of vitamin A deficiency.
