Just-In-Time Systems
JIT is characteristic of lean production systems JIT operates with very little fat
Waiting time
Unnecessary transportation Processing waste Inefficient work methods Product defects
1. Product Design
Standard parts
Modular design
Highly capable production systems
2. Process Design
Small lot sizes Setup time reduction Manufacturing cells Limited work in process
Quality improvement
Production flexibility Little inventory storage
Reduces inventory Less rework Less storage space Problems are more apparent Increases product flexibility Easier to balance operations
10
Production Flexibility Reduce downtime by reducing changeover time Use preventive maintenance to reduce breakdowns Cross-train workers to help clear bottlenecks Reserve capacity for important customers
11
3. Personnel/Organizational Elements
Workers as assets
Cross-trained workers
Continuous improvement
Cost accounting
Leadership/project management
12
Pull systems
Visual systems Close vendor relationships Reduced transaction processing Preventive maintenance
13
Pull/Push Systems Pull system: System for moving work where a workstation pulls output from the preceding station as needed. (e.g. Kanban)
Push system: System for moving work where output is pushed to the next station as it is completed

JIT in Service
The basic goal of the demand flow technology in the service organization is to provide optimum response to the customer with the highest quality service and lowest possible cost.
Eliminate disruptions Make system flexible Reduce setup and lead times Eliminate waste Minimize WIP Simplify the process

Elements of JIT
Smooth flow of work (the ultimate goal) Elimination of waste Continuous improvement Eliminating anything that does not add value Simple systems that are easy to manage Use of product layouts to minimize moving materials and parts Quality at the source
