Just in Time Manufacturing V/S Synchronous Manufacturing: Submitted By:-"Group-10"

Just-in-time production focuses on sourcing raw materials according to a production schedule to help manufacturers store low quantities, while synchronous manufacturing processes raw materials into finished products in the order of customer orders. Just-in-time uses a kanban system with containers to easily identify and monitor inventory levels, whereas synchronous manufacturing does not have this provision. Batch size determination is important in synchronous manufacturing based on bottleneck and non-bottleneck resources to reduce work-in-process inventory, whereas in just-in-time the batch size depends on customer orders. Both methods effectively reduce lead times and work in process but are limited to repetitive manufacturing with a stable production level, and just-in-time allows less flexibility in products.

JUST IN TIME MANUFACTURING V/S SYNCHRONOUS

MANUFACTURING
Just-in-time production focuses on sourcing raw materials just in time for factory use
according to a production schedule; it helps manufacturers be able to store low
quantities of raw materials whereas, Synchronous manufacturing ensures that a
manufacturer processes raw materials into finished products in the order that
customers place orders, or first-in/first-out.
JIT uses KANBAN system which uses containers for holding parts. This allows easy
identification and monitoring of inventory levels whereas no such provision in
synchronous manufacturing.

Batch size determination is important in synchronous manufacturing. For bottleneck


resources, larger batch sizes are desirable. For non-bottleneck resources, smaller
process batch sizes are desirable and reduce work-in-process inventory whereas, in
case of JIT, batch size will be decided by customers orders.

JIT like synchronous manufacturing does an excellent job in reducing lead times and
work in process but is limited to repetitive manufacturing and requires a stable
production level.

JIT does not allow very much flexibility in the products produced.
