What is JIT ?
Producing only what is needed,
when it is needed
A philosophy
An integrated management system
JIT’s mandate:
Eliminate all waste
To Accompany Russell and Taylor, Operations Management, 4th Edition, 2003 Prentice-Hall, Inc. All rights reserved.
What is JIT?
• a corporate system designed to produce
output within the minimum lead time and
at the lowest total cost by continuously
identifying and eliminating all forms of
corporate waste and variance.
• a corporate strategy
• a philosophy
• Focus of JIT:
• variance & waste
To Accompany Russell and Taylor, Operations Management, 4th Edition, 2003 Prentice-Hall, Inc. All rights reserved.
Seven Basic Types of
Waste
• Waste from overproduction
• Waste from waiting times
• Transportation waste
• Process Waste
• Inventory Waste
• Waste of motion
• Waste from product defects

Common Causes of
Waste
• Layout (distance) • Inconsistent
performance
• Long setup time measures
• Incapable processes • Ineffective
production
• Poor maintenance planning
• Poor work methods • Lack of workplace
• Lack of training organization
• Poor supply
quality/reliability

Objectives of JIT
• Produce only the products the customer wants.
• Produce products only at the rate that the
customer wants them.
• Produce with perfect quality
• Produce with minimum lead time.
• Produce products with only those features the
customer wants.
• Produce with no waste of labor, material or
equipment -- every movement must have a
purpose so that there is zero idle inventory.
• Produce with methods that allow for the
development of people

The Pull System
Material is pulled through the system
when needed
Reversal of traditional push system
where material is pushed according
to a schedule
Forces cooperation
Prevent over and underproduction

Kanban Production
Control System
Kanban card indicates standard quantity
of production
Derived from two-bin inventory system
Kanban maintains discipline of pull
production
Production kanban authorizes production
Withdrawal kanban authorizes movement
of goods

Components of Lead Time
Processing time
Reduce number of items or improve
efficiency
Move time
Reduce distances, simplify
movements, standardize routings
Waiting time
Better scheduling, sufficient capacity
Setup time
Generally the biggest bottleneck
To Accompany Russell and Taylor, Operations Management, 4th Edition, 2003 Prentice-Hall, Inc. All rights reserved.
SMED Principles
1. Separate internal setup from
external setup
2. Convert internal setup to external
setup
3. Streamline all aspects of setup
4. Perform setup activities in
parallel or eliminate them entirely

Uniform Production
Results from smoothing production
requirements
Kanban systems can handle +/- 10%
demand changes
Smooths demand across planning
horizon

Kaizen
Continuous improvement
Requires total employment
involvement
Essence of JIT is willingness of
workers to
Spot quality problems
Halt production when necessary
Generate ideas for improvement
Analyze problems
Perform different functions
To Accompany Russell and Taylor, Operations Management, 4th Edition, 2003 Prentice-Hall, Inc. All rights reserved.
Total Productive
Maintenance (TPM)
Breakdown maintenance
Repairs to make failed machine operational
Preventive maintenance
System of periodic inspection & maintenance
to keep machines operating
TPM combines preventive maintenance &
total quality concepts
To Accompany Russell and Taylor, Operations Management, 4th Edition, 2003 Prentice-Hall, Inc. All rights reserved.
TPM Requires
Management to:
Design products that can be easily
produced on existing machines
Design machines for easier operation,
changeover, maintenance
Train & retrain workers to operate machines
Purchase machines that maximize
productive potential
Design preventive maintenance plan
spanning life of machine

Supplier Policies
1. Locate near to the customer
2. Use small, side loaded trucks and ship
mixed loads
3. Consider establishing small warehouses
near to the customer or consolidating
warehouses with other suppliers
4. Use standardized containers and make
deliveries according to a precise delivery
schedule
5. Become a certified supplier and accept
payment at regular intervals rather than
upon delivery
To Accompany Russell and Taylor, Operations Management, 4th Edition, 2003 Prentice-Hall, Inc. All rights reserved.
Benefits of JIT
1. Reduced 8. Better relations
inventory with suppliers
2. Improved quality 9. Simplified
3. Lower costs scheduling and
4. Reduced space control activities
requirements 10. Increased capacity
5. Shorter lead time 11. Better use of
6. Increased human resources
productivity 12. More product
7. Greater flexibility variety

JIT Implementation
Use JIT to finely tune an operating
system
Somewhat different in
USA than Japan
JIT is still evolving
JIT isn’t for everyone
