What’s JIT?
• Just-in-time manufacturing is a methodology
aimed primarily at reducing times within
production system as well as response times
from suppliers and to customers.
• Originated in Japan in the 1950s
• Also known as just-in-time production or the
Toyota Production System.
• Producing necessary quantities at necessary
time.
MAIN ELEMENTS
• Elimination of waste
• Quality at the source
• Balanced and flexible work flow
• Respect for people
• Continuous improvement (Kaizen)
• Simplification and visual control
• Focus on customer needs
• Partnership with key suppliers
CASE STUDY-TOYOTA
TOYOTA MOTORS
• TOYOTA MOTORS is a Japanese automobile
manufacturer headquartered in Toyota, Aichi,
Japan.
• Toyota was the largest automobile manufacturer
in 2012 (by production).
• Toyota is the world's first automobile
manufacturer to produce more than 10 million
vehicles per year
Toyota's JIT Revolution: A
Legendary Production System
Taiichi Ohno implemented JIT inToyota’s
manufacturing plants to avoid waste, reducing
inventories & increasing production efficiency
to compete .
WHY TOYOTA INTRODUCED JUST IN
TIME PRODUCTION PHILOSOPHY?
• In the early 1930s, the technology used by
American automobile companies was superior to
that used by Japanese companies.
• After thorough study and research Kiichiro sort
out the root causes to the failure of not
competing in the global market.
• He then reorganized the production system in
Toyota in a unique way. This reorganization
eventually led to the development of JIT concept

STRATEGIES FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION
OF JIT
• Customer satisfaction
• Employee involvement
• Continues improvement
• Pull system
• Supply chain management
Principles or Components of JIT
• KANBAN
• HEIJUNKA
Kanban
• A simple parts-movement system that depended
on cards and boxes/containers to take parts from
one workstation to another on a production line. o
• Conveyance Kanban card/ withdrawal card:
The kanban card used to move parts from one place
to another, known as the Conveyance Kanban card.
• Production Kanban card:
The second card to authorize the production of
parts, known as the production kanban card. A
standard size container was used to store parts and
each card was treated like a coupon.
Heijunka
• Another important component of JIT was Heijunka
(finding and keeping average production volumes).
• JIT's principle of building only the required number
of items helped keep the production costs low.
• Heijunka helped in the accomplishment of this
principle by creating a consistent production
volume.
• Heijunka averaged the highest and lowest variations
of the orders. The variations were then removed
from the production schedule. This ensured that the
right quantity of parts was produced with minimum
workforce.
Advantages of JIT
• Production flexibility
• Quick response to customers Demand
• High quality products at low prices for customers
• Customer satisfaction
• Low inventory investment
• Early detection of quality problems
• Small lot sizes
• Low cost of production
• Shortened lead times
• Employee empowerment
• Increased supplier relations.
Disadvantages of JIT
• JIT involved high set up costs
• Special training and reorganization of policies
and procedures in the company were necessary
to implement JIT The supplier relations of the
company also needed to be improved to ensure
timely delivery. In the absence of good supplier
relations, JIT increased the risk of inventory
shortage. Change in Organizational culture.
