JIT and Process Standardization Just-in-Time is a philosophy that concentrates on the delivery of a product or service in the time‚ quantity‚ and quality desired by the customer. Applying just-in-time philosophy to the service industry by standardizing processes improves customer satisfaction. A fast food drive-through restaurant is a perfect example of how using JIT philosophy and standardization improves the process thus improves customer satisfaction. Implementing continuous improvements in

trade-off between ordering and carrying costs of inventory. The two that will be discussed is the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) model and the Just-in-time (JIT) model. First‚ the history and definition of the theories will be discussed. Secondly‚ there will be a comparison of these two models presented. Thirdly‚ organizations that employ the EOQ and JIT model will be discussed and an explanation will be given on how each organization benefited in their operations from using these particular models.

Figure 6.8. Initial Layout of Cell 1 The optimum sequence method starts with an arbitrary initial solution and tries to improve the layout by switching two departments in the sequence. At each step the method computes the cost changes for all possible switches of two departments and chooses the most effective pair. The two departments are switched in sequence and the method repeats. The process stops when no switch results in a reduced cost. The optimized facility information and layout have been shown
