made to meet the sales demand. Since the manufacturing often produces more than one variation of an item and many times the products are customized and this makes this forecasting process extremely complex. What are the major pros and cons of JIT and lean manufacturing systems? What do they have to do with nonvalue added or wasted activities? There are major pros and cons of the JIT system. One pro is Reduced Inventory costs. JIT manufacturing reduces company inventory costs because inventory is acquired

In this paper‚ we tried to present an overview on the Just In Time practices and how it originated and what it involves from goals and objectives; that would make organizations all over the world apply the concept while aiming at enhancing it’s production‚ minimizing costs and thus generating more revenues. We also tackled Toyota- Car Manufacturing Company as a case study for being one of the very first manufacturers who gave up old traditional manufacturing practices and started implementing JIT

heighten awareness and give whole new perspectives on identifying waste and therefore the unexploited opportunities associated with reducing waste. Muda has been given much greater attention as waste than the other two which means that whilst many Lean practitioners have learned to see muda they fail to see in the same prominence the wastes of mura (unevenness) and muri (overburden). Thus whilst they are focused on getting their process under control they do not give enough time to process improvement

Toyota Production System (TPS) Toyota Production System The practical expression of Toyota’s people and customer-oriented philosophy is known as the Toyota Production System (TPS). This is not a rigid company-imposed procedure but a set of principles that have been proven in day-to-day practice over many years. Many of these ideas have been adopted and imitated all over the world. TPS has three desired outcomes: * To provide the customer with the highest quality vehicles‚ at lowest possible cost

without adding value‚ such as moving and storing. Just-in-time (JIT) is a management philosophy that strives to eliminate sources of such manufacturing waste by producing the right part in the right place at the right time. Features JIT (also known as lean production or stockless production) should improve profits and return on investment by reducing inventory levels (increasing the inventory turnover rate)‚ reducing variability‚ improving product quality‚ reducing production and delivery lead times

A Continuous Improvement process is an incremental and ongoing approach to improve products‚ processes or services. These efforts generally seek to achieve incremental improvement over time or try to achieve breakthough improvement as an immediate result. Delivery processes are constantly evaluated and improved to increase their efficiency and effectiveness.
