    Just-in-Time (JIT) aims to achieve high-volume production using minimal inventories through eliminating waste and ensuring parts arrive at the next workstation "just in time". The ultimate goal of JIT is a balanced system with a smooth, rapid flow of materials. Key building blocks include product design, process design, personnel elements, and manufacturing planning. JIT seeks to eliminate disruptions, make systems flexible, and eliminate waste like excess inventory.

    JIT and Lean Operations

    Just-In-Time (JIT) Defined


    1. JIT can be defined as an integrated
    set of activities designed to
    achieve high-volume production
    using minimal inventories (raw
    materials, work in process, and
    finished goods).
    2. JIT also involves the elimination of
    waste in production effort.
    3. JIT also involves the timing of
    production resources (i.e., parts
    arrive at the next workstation “just
    in time”).
    JIT and Lean Operations

    JIT/Lean Production
     Just-in-time (JIT): A highly
    coordinated processing system in which
    goods move through the system, and
    services are performed, just as they
    are needed.
     JIT   lean production
     JIT  pull (demand) system
     JIT operates with very little “fat”
    JIT and Lean Operations

    Goal of JIT
    The ultimate goal of JIT is a
    balanced system.

    Achieves a smooth, rapid flow of


    materials through the system.

    Secondary Goals

    1. Eliminate disruptions
    2. Make system flexible
    3. Eliminate waste, especially
    excess inventory
    JIT and Lean Operations

    Big vs. Little JIT


     Big JIT – broad focus ( Includes Internal
    as well as External)
    1. Vendor relations
    2. Human relations
    3. Technology management
    4. Materials and inventory management
     Little JIT – narrow focus Internal to
    organization
    1. Scheduling materials
    2. Scheduling services of production
    JIT and Lean Operations

    JIT Building Blocks

    1. Product design
    2. Process design
    3. Personnel/organizational
    elements
    4. Manufacturing
    planning and control

    The Lean Production System


     Based on two philosophies:
     1. Elimination of waste

     2. Respect for people

    Transitioning to a JIT System


     Get top management commitment
     Decide which parts need most effort
     Obtain support of workers
     Try to reduce scrap material
     Start by trying to reduce setup times
     Incorporate quality
     Gradually convert operations
     Convert suppliers to JIT
     Prepare for obstacles
    JIT and Lean Operations

    Obstacles to Conversion

     Management may not be


    committed
     Workers/management may

    not be cooperative
     Suppliers may

    resist
    JIT and Lean Operations

    JIT in Services
    • Eliminate disruptions
    • Make system flexible
    • Reduce setup and lead times
    • Eliminate waste
    • Simplify the process
     The basic goal of the demand flow
    technology in the service organization is
    to provide optimum response to the
    customer with the highest quality
    service and lowest possible cost.
    JIT and Lean Operations

    JIT in Services (Examples)


     Upgrade Quality
     Clarify Process Flows
     Develop Supplier Networks
     Introduce Demand-Pull Scheduling
     Reorganize Physical Configuration
     Eliminate Unnecessary Activities
     Level the Facility Load
    JIT and Lean Operations

    JIT II
     JIT II: a supplier representative
    works right in the company’s
    plant, making sure there is an
    appropriate supply on hand.
    JIT and Lean Operations

    Benefits of JIT Systems

    1. Reduced inventory levels


    2. High quality
    3. Flexibility
    4. Reduced lead times
    5. Increased productivity
