Introduction
a philosophy of manufacturing based on
planned elimination of all waste & on
continuous improvement of productivity
a production strategy that strives to
improve a businessreturn on
investmentby reducing
1. in-processinventory
2. associatedcarrying costs

Founder of JIT
Founded by Taiichi
Ohno
A vice president of
Toyota
Basically
implemented in
Toyota plant 1950,
well established after
1970
Well known as Toyota
Production System

Followers of JIT
Adopted by General Electrical in the USA in the 1980
Some companies referred JIT with different names;
TOYOTA = Toyota System
IBM = continuous flow manufacturing
HEWLETT-PACKARD = stockless production & repetitive
manufacturing system
GE = management by sight

Some Statistics

JIT Goals

Eliminate disruptions
Make the system flexible
Reduce set up times & lead time
Minimize inventory
Eliminate waste
Increase productivity
Give the customer the products they
want, when and where they want them at
the minimum cost

Steps in JIT
Introduce the speed
design of process, target, use of recourses
1000 cars in a month, 500 workers
1000 cars in a week, 1500 workers
Eliminate or Reduce Stock
zero inventory level is ideal
Examples of KANBAN
involves a customer & a supplier
aim = to satisfy the customers needs

Steps in JIT
Design of Plant
arranging machinery, people & activities
Reducing & Avoiding set ups &
Preventive Maintenance
so that activity should not stopped
Simplifying the planning
so that replacement can be possible

Tools of JIT

The 7 wastes
The 5 Ss
Kanban Inventory
Visual Control
Pokayoke
Kaizen
Cellular Work Flow
Standard Work Concept
Make it Ugly
Just Do It

The 7 Wastes

Concluding JIT
Advantage of JIT
- reduces cost of production

Disadvantage of JIT
- it takes time to establish
