I am happy to announce that the book "Just-in-Time Systems" has recently 
been published by Springer.

http://www.springer.com/mathematics/applications/book/978-1-4614-1122-2

Summary: Whether different types of costs are to be reduced, benefits to 
be maximized or scarce resources to be managed, scheduling theory provides 
intelligent methods for practitioners and scientists. The just-in-time 
(JIT) production philosophy has enriched the classical scheduling theory 
with models that consider characteristics such as inventory costs, set-up 
times, lot sizing, or maintenance. This edited volume considers the 
specifics of just-in-time systems. It provides knowledge and insights on 
recent advances in scheduling theory where just-in-time aspects are 
considered. Contributions on models, theory, algorithms, and applications, 
that bring the theory up-to-date on the state-of-the-art of JIT systems 
are presented.

Best regards,
