    The document discusses the implementation of Just-in-Time (JIT) manufacturing systems. It explains that JIT aims to identify problems in the value chain and reduce production waste while increasing throughput. Implementing JIT requires close coordination with the supply chain to avoid delays. The goals of JIT are to identify customer needs, achieve an optimal quality-cost relationship, and design efficient plant layouts. However, JIT may not be universally applicable and requires organizational commitment for success due to cultural differences and loss of individual autonomy.

    PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

    CIA 1 COMPONMENT 1

    Ravikrishnan. R
    1520329 6 BBA C
    Title of the article: - Just-in-Time Manufacturing System: From Introduction to Implement

    Executive summary

    This article discusses in depth the implementation of JIT manufacturing. JIT production system
    identifies the hidden problems in the value chain and reduces the production waste of the system
    while increasing the throughout (Sales-Raw Material Cost).

    Even though the JIT system seems to be interesting and less complicated it requires lot of
    coordination with supply chain to avoid delays in the production schedule. JIT production system
    identifies the hidden problems in the value chain and reduces the production waste of the system
    while increasing the throughout (Sales-Raw Material Cost).

    The whole idea is based on the phrase provide the goods just in time as promised when the order
    is placed by the customer. The opposite of the JIT production is known as JIC (Just in case)
    system where it produces goods for inventory with the intention of having goods just in case a
    customer places an immediate order.

    The author tries to explain the implementation of the JIT system and how it has been valuable to
    a lot of companies to identify value chain problems and decrease production waste and
    increasing efficiency.

    Critical analysis

    The article is just trying to say that JIT has evolved into a management philosophy containing a
    body of knowledge and encompassing a comprehensive set of manufacturing principles and
    techniques while also encompassing what the disadvantages of the system too are. It gives a fair
    point of view for all sides.

    It says that the Japanese work ethics is one of the reasons why JIT is a huge success with the
    Toyota employees. The work ethic emerged shortly after World War II and was seen as an
    integral part of the Japanese economic success. It is the prime motivating factor behind the
    development of superior management techniques that are becoming the best in the world.
    It gives it fair amount of limitations by stating that: -

    Cultural differences have been cited as a possible limitation of JIT.


    The traditional approach to manufacturing involves the use of large inventories with
    safety stocks are a limitation of JIT
    The benefits associated with increased employee involvement and participation resulting
    from the use of quality circles may be evident in Japanese organizations.
    Loss of individual autonomy has been suggested as another possible short-coming of JIT.

    Findings / suggestions

    We learn that JIT can be used to: -

    Increasing the organizations ability to compete with rival firms and remain competitive
    over the long run.
    Increasing the degree of efficiency within the production process
    Reducing the level of wasted materials, time and effort involved in the production
    process.

    The goals of JIT are useful in assisting the organization to define, direct and prepare for
    implementation. There exist short-and long-term goals, which include the following: -

    Identifying and responding to consumer needs This goal will assist the organization in
    focusing on what is demanded from customers and required of production
    Aiming for the optimal quality/cost relationship Achieving quality should not be done to
    the point where it does not pay off for the organization.
    Design the plant for maximum efficiency and ease of manufacturing
    Conclusion

    We can conclude that JIT is a practice that can be universally applied. JIT is not a practice that
    can be universally applied. JIT would only be successful if every individual within the
    organization was involved and committed to it. JIT also emerged as a means of obtaining the
    highest levels of usage out of limited resources available.
