WHAT IS JIT?
JIT is a manufacturing
philosophy involving an
integrated set of
procedures/activities
designed to achieve a
volume of production
using minimal
inventories.
A highly coordinated
processing system in
which goods move
through the system, and
services are performed,

HOW IT WORKS?

HISTORY
Evolved in Japan after World War II, as a result
of their diminishing market share in the auto
industry.
Founded by Taiichi Ohno, a vice president of
Toyota.
Basically implemented in Toyota plant 1950,
well established after 1970.

FOLLOWERS
Adopted by General Electrical in the USA in the
1980.
Some companies referred JIT with different
names:
i. TOYOTA Toyota System
ii. IBM Continuous flow manufacturing
iii. GE- Management by sight
iv. HEWLETT- PACKARD- stockless production
& repetitive manufacturing system

7 WASTES
1) Waste of over
production
2) Waste of waiting
3) Waste of
transportation
4) Waste of
Underutilization of
Employees
5) Waste of Inventory
6) Waste of motion
7) Waste of making
defective products

PRINCIPLES OF JIT
PRODUCTION

TOTAL QUALITY
MANAGEMENT
Seek long-term
commitment
Quality must be a
higher priority than cost
Minimize Waste

PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT
Pull System vs. Push System
Pull = Made to order
Push = Made for inventory

Communication Techniques
Completion of task-Kanban
Problem- Andon or siren/light

Flexibility of the system

Design For Testability
Poka-Yoke= Mistake-proofing

SUPPLIER MANAGEMENT
Establish Long Term Relationships with
Toyota Productions
few E.g.
suppliers.
Delivery of Parts = 100% Defect Free
Where they are needed
When they are needed
The exact quantity

Work Together
Elimination of inspection of parts

INVENTORY MANAGEMENT

Eliminate Safety Stock = Zero

Inventory
Inventory is Evil

Water = Inventory

Material
handling

Poor
training

Traditional systems use

inventory (water) to buffer the
process from problems (rocks)
that cause disruption.
Break

Long
setups

JIT systems view inventory as waste and work to

lower inventory levels to expose and correct the
problems (rocks) that cause disruption.

Lowering the level of inventory is relatively

easy to do. However, the problems that arise
must be corrected quickly Otherwise, the
process will flounder.

REQUIREMENTS OF JIT
Respond to Customer
Requirements
Integrate all
Processes
Employee
Participation
Company wide
Commitment to
education
Eliminate
redundancy
Reduce all Inventory

Use a pull Production

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

OBSTACLES IN
CONVERSION
Management not committed
Workers not cooperative
Decide which parts need
most effort
Start by trying to reduce
setup times
Gradually convert operations
Convert suppliers to JIT
Prepare for obstacles
Suppliers may
resist

ADVANTAGES OF JIT
High quality
Flexibility
Reduced setup times
Reduced need for indirect labor
Less waste
Low warehouse cost
Synchronization between production
scheduling and work hour

DISADVANTAGES OF JIT
Time consuming
No spare product to meet un
expected order
Supply Shock : If products do not
reach on time
High risk factor

JIT IN GOODS :
Leveraged JIT principles to make its
manufacturing process a success
Leverage their suppliers to achieve the JIT goal
Provide exceptionally short set up times to
their customers
Suppliers carry inventory instead of carrying it
themselves.
Has dependable suppliers with the ability to

 Seamless system that allows it to transmit its

component on requirements
Willingness of suppliers to keep inventory on
hand.

JIT IN SERVICES: MAC D

McDonalds is the best example of JIT in

Services !

 McDonald's doesn't begin to cook until

a customer has placed a specific order.
The major benefits are better food at a
lower cost.
Wastage is reduced along with an
improvised taste that makes you want
to scream out Im Lovin It !

THANK YOU!!
