Origins/History

This article is both interesting and applicable, yet it lacks a Origins/History/(whatever) section to explain JIT's origins and history. Instead, for example, more than halfway through the article, someone named "Ohno" is suddenly but casually mentioned (and without a link), and yet, he seems to be the "father" of the JIT strategy — at least the formalized strategy as we know it. So, I recommend mentioning his full name in its first instance here along with a link to his article in Wikipedia, and hopefully, this can happen at the beginning of the article in an Origins or History section.

JIT starts with Kiichiro Toyoda (http://www.toyota-global.com/company/vision_philosophy/toyota_production_system/origin_of_the_toyota_production_system.html) with Taiichi Ohno figuring out how to implement it with kanban. Misleading to suggest that Toyota adopted it so much as invent it. Jason Yip (talk) 22:08, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
