Just-In-Time Manufacturing: A Definition

Uses a systems approach to develop and operate a manufacturing system Organizes the production process so that parts are available when they are needed A method for optimizing processes that involves continual reduction of waste

Central Themes Surrounding Just-In-Time

Simplicity Quality

Elimination of Waste

Prerequisites for JIT Implementation

A Reason for Changing Executive Commitment Strategic Manufacturing Plan Commitment to Action

Just-In-Time Techniques
Inventory Reduction as a Tool for Improvement Supplier Relationships Inventory Pull Uniform Plant Loading

Just-In-Time Techniques(contd)
Reduced Setup Times Shop-Floor Layout and Production Cells Total Quality Assurance Preventive Maintenance

Brainstorming Exercise:

How can Just-In-Time Manufacturing be Effective in your Business?

A Competitive Edge
Integrating and Optimizing Improve Continuously

Understanding the Customer

The Major Misconceptions of JIT

JIT is Only an Inventory Control System
It is a Method to Push Inventory Back to the Supplier JIT is a Quality Control Program

Goals of Just-In-Time Systems

Design for Optimum Quality and Cost Minimize resources needed for Design and Manufacturing Be Responsive to the Customers Needs

Goals of Just-In-Time Systems(contd)

Develop Trust and Open Relationships with Suppliers and Customers
Develop a Commitment to Improve the Total Manufacturing System

Advantages of JIT Manufacturing

Materials Cost Savings Manufacturing Cost Savings

Sales Cost Savings

Elements in Materials Cost Saving

Reduction of Suppliers Long-term Contracts Reduce Order Scheduling Simplify Receiving Systems Eliminate unpacking Eliminate Inspection Eliminate inventory Stocking Eliminate Excess Material

How Just-In-Time Systems Work

Requirements for JIT Manufacturing
Firm-wide Commitment

Knowledgeable Management

Requirements for JIT

Respond to Customer Requirements Integrate all Processes in the Manufacturing System Employee Participation in Meeting Commitments Company wide Commitment to education Eliminate redundancy Reduce all Inventory Establish Continuous Improvement Goals

Requirements for JIT(contd)

Use a pull Production System Design products for Manufacturing Develop Controllable Production Processes Have a Defect Prevention Program Reduce Setup Times Build Products to Specification

A Real World Example

The Toyota Production System

A JIT Exercise

Q: What are the three central themes surrounding Just-InTime Manufacturing and why are they important?
