JIT aims to meet demand instantly, with perfect quality and no waste
its not all about inventory, (inventory is just one type of waste)
Types of waste: Inventory, over production, waiting time, transport, staff/ equipment, process, defective goods/ services.
Cost effective production and delivery of only the necessary quantity of parts at the right quality at the right time and place, while using minimum amount of facilities, equipment,materials and human resources
Inventory is often used to cover up other issues in business: bad suppliers, inconsistent quality, machine breakdown, inefficient layouts and processes
Fail safing: linked to TQM and JIT: USB sticks only work one way, File cabinets only let you open one draw at a time to stop it falling over. Address window on letters, covers message but shows delivery details;
-
Firms who operate JIT: Nissan Toyota, Honda, Unipart, Porsche, Chrysler
Ways to map JIT: 1 Study the flow of process, indentify waste, can process to rearranged to more efficient sequence, is there a better flow pattern invoving different layouts, is everything in the process "really necessary"
