Just in Time Production1-1.1

This document discusses just-in-time (JIT) production. [1] It defines JIT as an approach to eliminate waste and continuously improve productivity by producing the right part in the right place at the right time. [2] JIT originated in Japan in the 1920s and was first implemented by Toyota in the 1970s. [3] The document then outlines the basic elements, requirements, and benefits of JIT production systems as well as potential issues that can arise.

CONCEPTUAL THEORY
Just-in-time (JIT) is
defined as “a
philosophy of
manufacturing based
on planned elimination
of all waste and on
continuous
improvement of
productivity”. It also
has been described as
an approach with the
objective of producing
the right part in the
right place at the right
time
HISTORY OF JIT
JIT is a Japanese management
philosophy which appeared in 1922 at
Ford and has been applied in practice
since the early 1970s in many Japanese
manufacturing organisations. It was first
adopted by Toyota manufacturing plants
by Taiichi Ohno.The main concern at that
time was to meet consumer demands.
Because of the success of JIT management,
Taiichi Ohno was named the Father of JIT.
The basic elements of JIT
People Involvement
Manufacturers can gain support from 4
sources:
1. Stockholders and owners of the
company
2. Labor organization
3. Management support
4. Government support
Plants

Certain requirements are needed to


implement JIT :
1. Plant layout
2. Demand pull production
3. Kanban
4. Self inspection
5. Continuous improvement
System
This refers to the technology
and process that combines the
different processes and
activities together.Two major
types are Material Requirement
Planning and Manufacturing
Resource Planning.
The last one is a computer
based, bottom-up manufacturing
approach. This involves two
plans, production plan and
master production schedule.
Production plan involves the
management and planning of
resources through the available
capacity. Master production
schedule involves what products
to be produced in what time.
 set up times are significantly reduced in
the factory
 the flows of goods from warehouse to
shelves are improved
 employees who possess multiple skills
are utilized more efficiently
 better consistency of scheduling and
consistency of employee work hours
 increased emphasis on supplier
relationships
 supplies continue around the clock
keeping workers productive and
businesses focused on turnover
 Production is very reliant
on suppliers and if stock is
not delivered on time, the
whole production schedule
can be delayed.
 There is no spare finished
product available to meet
unexpected orders, because
all product is made to meet
actual orders
CASE STUDY: IMPLEMENTATION OF JIT
IN A SMALL COMPANY

The company (Daioku Company) considered for case


study is located in Tainan, Taiwan. The major
products of the company include different kinds of
automobile lamps. In 1990, the executive manager at
Daioku started promoting a JIT system, with the
hope that the inventory level can be reduced and
productivity can be improved .
The process of implementation

The basis of JIT is 5S: Seiri, seiton,


seiso, seiketsu and shisuke - which can
be roughly translated as: Sort, Simplify,
Shine, Standardize and Sustain. With
5S activities, the working environment
in Daioku was clean up to improve the
safety, quality and productivity
The implementation methodology adopted
at the Daioku plant
Since 1990, intensive education, training and promotions
have been organized to lay the foundation for JIT
implementation. The JIT implementation committee
selected assembly works in rear lamps plant to start
with. They have:
 used standardization to eliminate overproduction and
waiting time of materials
 provided a rational level of parts to eliminate
unnecessary spare parts and allow the packaging and
moving of materials smoothly
 implemented a single person and multi-machine
scheme on some cells and reviewed the fast-change
moulding activities together with some training.
