Why

When would you use it?


When you have identified an issue and
want to deepen your understanding of it
and its underlying causes

It avoids group moving into fix it mode


and addressing the symptoms of an issue
without understanding the root causes

Operation Management Strategies

Page 25

APICS Definition of JIT


A philosophy of manufacturing based on planned
elimination of waste and continuous improvement of
productivity
American Production and Inventory Control Society (APICS) is an
organization for professionals working in the field of Operations
Management
Operation Management Strategies

Page 26

Just-In-Time and Lean Production


JIT is a philosophy of continuous and forced problem
solving that supports lean production
Lean production supplies the customer with their exact
wants when the customer wants it without waste
Key issues are continual improvement and a pull system

Operation Management Strategies

Page 27

Key Principles of Just-in-Time


Waste reduction

Things that do not add value from the customer perspective

Variability reduction

Any deviation from the optimum process that delivers perfect


product on time, every time

Pull Production System

Pull systems where material is produced only as needed / when


requested

Operation Management Strategies

Page 28

1. Waste Reduction
Waste is anything other than the minimum amount
of equipment, materials, parts, space, and workers time,
which are absolutely essential to add value to the product.
Shoichiro Toyoda
President of Toyota

Page 31

Waste Reduction
Faster delivery, reduced work-in-process, and faster
throughput all reduce waste
Reduced waste reduces room for errors emphasizing quality
Reduced inventory releases assets for other, productive
purposes
Operation Management Strategies

Page 32

2. Variability Reduction
JIT systems require managers to reduce variability
caused by both internal and external factors
Variability is any deviation from the optimum
process
Inventory hides variability
Less variability results in less waste
Operation Management Strategies

Page 33

Causes of Variability
1. Employees, machines, and suppliers produce units that
do not conform to standards, are late, or are not the
proper quantity

2. Engineering drawings or specifications are inaccurate


3. Production personnel try to produce before drawings or
specifications are complete
4. Customer demands are unknown
Operation Management Strategies

Page 34

3. Pull Versus Push Systems


A pull system uses signals to request production
and delivery from upstream stations
Upstream stations only produce when signaled
System is used within the immediate production
process and with suppliers
Operation Management Strategies

Page 35

Continuous Flow Processing: Pull System

Operation Management Strategies

Page 36

3. Pull Versus Push Systems


By pulling material in small lots, inventory cushions are
removed, exposing problems and emphasizing
continual improvement
Manufacturing cycle time is reduced

Push systems dump orders on the downstream stations


regardless of the need

1) Suppliers
Reduced number of vendors
Nearby suppliers
Repeat business with same suppliers
Long-term contract

Supportive supplier relationships


Support suppliers so they become or remain price competitive

Quality deliveries on time


Share forecasts of demand
Frequent deliveries of small-lot quantities
Suppliers package in exact quantities
Operation Management Strategies

Page 41

2) Layout

Work-cell layouts with group technology


Cells designed to be rearranged as volume or designs
change
Movable, changeable, flexible machinery
Often U-shaped for shorter paths and improved
communication
High level of workplace organization and neatness
Reduced space for inventory
Delivery directly to work areas
Units are always moving because there is no storage

3) Inventory

Firms hold inventory to:


decouple activities
provide a buffer (safety stock) for
supplier reliability, quality problems,
etc.
From a Just-in-Time perspective,
inventory is being used to mask
problems rather than solve them

Reduce Lot Sizes

Ideal situation is to have lot sizes of one pulled from one process to
the next

Often not feasible

Can use EOQ analysis to calculate desired setup time

Improve material handling

Reduce setup time

When the producer and user are not in visual contact, a card can be
used

When the producer and user are in visual contact, a light or flag or
empty spot on the floor may be adequate
Since several components may be required, several different
kanban techniques may be employed

Calculating the Number of Containers


between Work Centers
UT(1+P)
N=
C

N = Total number of containers between 2 stations


U = Usage rate of downstream operation
T = Average elapsed time for container to make
entire cycle (Pitch Time)
P = Policy variable indicating efficiency... 0 - 1
C = Capacity (number of parts) of standard container
Operation Management Strategies

Page 58

Example: Number of Containers


There are two adjacent work centers, one of which is fed parts from the other. The
production rate of the using work center is 165 parts per hour. Each standard Kanban
container holds 24 parts.
It takes an average of 0.6 hour for a container to make the entire cycle from the
time it leaves the upstream center until it is returned, filled with production, and leaves
again. The efficiency of the system is observed to be 0.2.

How many containers are needed?

Operation Management Strategies

Page 59

Example: Number of Containers


Number of Containers, N
N = UT(1 + P) / C
= 165(0.6)(1 + 0.2) / 24
= 99(1.2) / 24
= 118.8 / 24
= 4.95 or 5 containers

6) Quality
JIT cuts the cost of obtaining good quality because JIT
exposes poor quality
Because lead times are shorter, quality problems are
exposed sooner
Better quality means fewer buffers and allows simpler

JIT Quality Tactics


Use statistical process control
Empower employees
Build fail-safe methods (poka-yoke, checklists, etc.)

Expose poor quality with small lot JIT


Provide immediate feedback

JIT requires TQM

7) Employee Empowerment
JIT
Components
Empowered employees bring their knowledge
and involvement to daily operations

Some traditional staff tasks can move to


empowered employees
Training, cross-training, and fewer job
classifications can mean enriched jobs
Companies gain from increased commitment
from employees

participation of all its members and
aiming at long-term success through
customer satisfaction, and benefit to all
members of the organization and to
society
