Stocks of semi-finished or finished goods are considered, in accordance with this philosophy, as a waste of financial or economic resources as well as a constraint to an ongoing innovation. 

Always attentive to continuous improvement of productive resources and workplace organisation, Valid Plastic follows the “5S” philosophy and the Kanban system.

All workers have a high flexibility of labor able to adapt to the variable rhythms imposed by the system. Just In Time's philosophy goes hand in hand with the “5S” rule, which corresponds for Valid Plastic in concrete steps in defining the whole Company organization, for the elimination of waste and for reducing production stops. This will help optimize space, order and cleanliness of the company's tools so that they are better
utilized by the workers.
