Future of JIT

If we really look internationally then we can very well judge that behind all MNC's success there is a just a smart management which have used tactics like JIT, and now we can see the difference just note if you can recall any 1 Pakistani international brand? We all will answer no, and the main reason implementing policies like this will make us compete in international market.

Mr. Sajid Ali, managing director BASF, says if we closely focus on JIT it basically eliminates some wastes like

Waste from Overproduction Waste of waiting/idle time
Transportation Waste Inventory Waste
Processing Waste Waste of Motion
Waste from Product Defects

He says, " Despite plant shutdowns caused by parts being stalled in the West Coast docks dispute, manufacturers using just-in-time (JIT) delivery say they'll stick with it. It's a matter of the good far outweighing the bad. We can admit that JIT is some how difficult for Pakistani firms to implement but that is what is required for future, because some how we are use to of such a "SETH type" environment that it is difficult to change their mentality and after looking west after many plants closure so many CEO's abroad clearly admit by saying "Admittedly this was a problem, and it was a glaring one, but we are not going to abandon a successful system for what was an aberration," says Michael Damer, manager of community relations for New United Motor Manufacturing Inc., (NUMMI), Fremont, Calif. JIT delivery, in which plants receive frequent deliveries of parts and materials in small lots timed to production, has saved manufacturers millions of dollars in inventory carrying costs. But the logistics turmoil of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and this fall's labor disputes on the western waterfront exposed a problem with JIT -- with little or no materials on hand, plants can be immediately idled by delayed deliveries. NUMMI, for instance, shut down its truck line for five days and

    The JIT or Just in time inventory system is an inventory strategy in which the company brings in inventory just at the time that it is needed, not before or after the start of production. This will reduce the high inventory level but will require a strong supply chain. The idea behind JIT is to help company reduce inventory since it will reduce storage and staff. It also help reduce waste for materials that have expiration dates so there will be less products to throw away. Since large manufacturing companies work off a forecast of future sales it is necessary for them to have as close as an accurate forecast as possible since this will determine what products they will need to have and when. Not only will this method minimize excess inventory it also help manufacturing companies to adjust their manufacturing strategy accordingly to customers demand since the global market is always changing and people’s needs changes. Since the company can reduce cost in managing inventory they can use that resource to invest in other areas to improve business.…

    Just in time (JIT) is a production strategy that strives to improve a business return on investment by reducing in-processinventory and associated carrying costs. Just-in-time production method is also called the Toyota Production System. To meet JIT objectives, the process relies on signals or Kanban (看板 Kanban?) between different points in the process, which tell production when to make the next part. Kanban are usually 'tickets ' but can be simple visual signals, such as the presence or absence of a part on a shelf. Implemented correctly, JIT focuses on continuous improvement and can improve a manufacturing organization 's return on investment, quality, and efficiency. To achieve continuous improvement key areas of focus could be flow, employee involvement and quality.…

    The global supply chain for auto manufacturing relied on critical parts built in factories in Japan. Toyota had implemented Just-in-Time (JIT), and when the earth quake and Tsunami occurred in Japan during 2008, it had incurred massive loss because most of its suppliers of sub-assembly parts had been washed ashore. It not only embraced the strategy of only having the necessary parts available at the assembly line itself, it back sourced its warehouse reserve parts in the same way. It was left needing everything that would arrive at the right time.…
