Just-in-time strives to eliminate inventories by using a pull approach.

Just-in-time (JIT) philosophy aims to minimize inventory levels by producing the exact amount needed, exactly when it is needed, and delivering it just in time for use in the production process. This is achieved through a pull approach, where the production process is driven by customer demand rather than by forecasted demand or a push approach, which can lead to excess inventory levels. Therefore, the statement is true.
