Just-In-Time Manufacturing? • What is JIT Manufacturing? • Where did it come from? • What are the main principles? • Is it easy to Implement? • What phrase best describes JIT?
Just-In Time Manufacturing • JIT- A philosophy of continuous improvement that puts emphasis on prevention rather than correction, and demands a company wide focus on quality. • JIT- operational management approach to achieve world class manufacturing. • JIT- production is based on demand
History of JIT Manufacturing • Evolved in Japan after World War II, as a result of their diminishing market share in the auto industry. • Toyota Motor Company- Birthplace of the JIT Philosophy Under Taiichi Ohno. • W. Edwards Deming • 14 points for Management • JIT is now on the rise in American Industries.
Principles Of JIT Manufacturing • Total Quality Management • Production Management • Supplier Management • Inventory Management • Human Resource Management
Principles Of JIT Manufacturing • Total Quality Management • Production Management • Supplier Management • Inventory Management • Human Resource Management
Total Quality Management • Seek long-term commitment to quality efforts with continuous improvement • Quality must be a higher priority than cost • Minimizing waste
Total Quality Management • Eliminate Quality Inspectors • Quality is everyone’s responsibility • Do it right the first time
Principles Of JIT Manufacturing • Total Quality Management • Production Management • Supplier Management • Inventory Management • Human Resource Management
Production Management • Pull System vs. Push System • Pull = Made to order • Push = Made for inventory • Flexability of the system • Design For Testability – In the process • Poka-Yoke= Mistake-proofing • Throughout entire process
Production Management • Reduced lot sizes= Shorter cycle times • Eliminate disruptions in the process • Standardized Parts/ Simplicity
Production Management • Communication Techniques • Completion of task-Kanban • Problem- Andon or siren/light • Stopping the process if something goes wrong =Jidoka • Preventive Maintenance
Production Management at Toyota • Toyota uses a Kanban pull system throughout the production process. • Each task in the process seems to take identical length and work content, so everyone is working at the same pace to reduce bottlenecks.
Principles Of JIT Manufacturing • Total Quality Management • Production Management • Supplier Management • Inventory Management • Human Resource Management
Supplier Management • Establish Long Term Relationships with few suppliers. • Delivery of Parts = 100% Defect Free • Where they are needed • When they are needed • The exact quantity • Work Together
Supplier Management • Elimination inspection of parts • Information Systems • Eliminating barriers to information • Communicate problems to suppliers in a positive manner.
Supplier Relations at Toyota • Toyota communicates their damand for parts 20 days in advance to their suppliers, with the right to change the forecast up to the 10th day.
Principles Of JIT Manufacturing • Total Quality Management • Production Management • Supplier Management • Inventory Management • Human Resource Management
Inventory Management • Eliminate Safety Stock = Zero Inventory • Reduce WIP • JIT is not an inventory control system • Reduction in inventory opens up space
Inventory hides problems in a process. Water Level = Inventory Rocks = Problems in the system Boat = Company Operations
Principles Of JIT Manufacturing • Total Quality Management • Production Management • Supplier Management • Inventory Management • Human Resource Management
Human Resource Management • Company-wide Involvement • Motivation for continuous improvement • Problem Solving • High Employee Interaction • Build Pride In Workmanship
Human Resource Management • Self-Inspection of work • Diversified Employees • Absenteeism • To eliminate boredom in process • Management Support and Empowerment of workforce
Human Resource Management at Toyota • In 1986 from a labor force of 60,000 Toyota received 2.6 million improvement proposals, 96% of which were implemented by either management or the employees themselves.
Implementation Problems • Worker resistance • Lack of top management support • Lack of communication • Lack of formal training
Most Important Question • What phrase best describes the Just-In-Time philosophy? Continuous Improvement
Summary JIT- A philosophy of continuous improvement that puts emphasis on prevention rather than correction, and demands a company wide focus on quality.
