DESCRIBE THE JIT ORIGIN AND
PHILOSOPHY

Learning Outcome 1
Introductory
Quotation

Waste is ‘anything other than the


minimum amount of equipment,
materials, parts, space, and
worker’s time, which are absolutely
essential to add value to the
product.’
— Shoichiro Toyoda
President, Toyota

JIT Origin:
• Toyota Motor Corporation's
Toyota vehicle production system is a
way of "making things" that is
Production sometimes referred to as a
System "lean manufacturing system"
or a "Just-in-Time (JIT)
system"

• This production control
JIT Origin: system has been established
based on many years of
Toyota continuous improvements,
Production with the objective of "making
the vehicles ordered by
System customers in the quickest and
most efficient way, in order to
deliver the vehicles as quickly
as possible."

Lean Production

• Lean Production supplies

without waste, through
continuous improvement.

Cost Accounting and Control 16-9


What Does Just-in-Time Do?

• Attacks waste
– Anything not adding value to the product
• From the customer’s perspective
• Exposes problems and bottlenecks caused by
variability
– Deviation from optimum
• Achieves streamlined production
– By reducing inventory

Cost Accounting and Control 16-10


Types of Waste
• Overproduction
• Waiting
• Transportation
• Inefficient processing
• Inventory
• Unnecessary motion
• Product defects

Cost Accounting and Control 16-11


• Traditional: inventory exists in
case problems arise
• JIT objective: eliminate inventory
• JIT requires
– Small lot sizes
Inventory – Low setup time
– Containers for fixed number of
parts
• JIT inventory: Minimum inventory
to keep system running

Cost Accounting and Control 16-12


JIT Inventory Tactics

• Use a pull system to move inventory


• Reduce lot size
• Reduce setup time
• Develop Just-in-Time delivery systems with
suppliers
• Deliver directly to point of use
• Perform-to-schedule
• Reduce setup time
• Use group technology

DISCUSS INVENTORY POLICY
Learning Outcome 2
• To develop an inventory policy
that deals with the trade-off
between acquisition costs and
Developing carrying costs, the following
questions must be addressed:
Inventory – How much should be ordered
to minimize inventory costs?
Policy
– When should the order be
placed?

Cost Accounting and Control 21


Economic
Order • The optimal quantity to order
at one time.
Quantity • Minimizes the total order and
(EOQ) carrying costs over a period of
time.

22
Cost Accounting and Control
Carrying costs

• Carrying costs are the


costs that a company may
incur in storing materials.

• These costs may include


materials storage and handling
costs, interest, insurance, and
property taxes, loss due to theft,
deterioration, or obsolescence,
and records and supplies
associated with carrying
inventory.

Ordering or
Setup Costs

• Costs of preparing
equipment and facilities so
they can be used to
produce a particular
product or component

• Examples - salaries and wages of


purchasing personnel,
communication costs, and
materials accounting and record
keeping.

taken into consideration when
ordering:
1. Usage – anticipated rate at
which the material will be used.
2. Lead time – estimated time
interval between the placement
of an order and the receipt of Reorder
the material.
3. Safety stock – estimated

DISCUSS JUST-IN-TIME (JIT)
SYSTEM KEY ELEMENTS
Learning Outcome 2
• Strategic objectives
- To increase profits
- To improve a firm’s competitive
position
• Objectives can be achieved by:
- Controlling costs
JIT Inventory
- Improving delivery performance
Management and quality
• Continual pursuit of productivity
through the elimination of waste
• Integral part of lean
manufacturing

Cost Accounting and Control 47


• Manufacturing approach - Pull
system
– Goods should be pulled through
the system by present demand
• Not pushed through the
system on a fixed schedule
based on anticipated JIT Inventory
demand
Management
• Attempts to drive setup and
ordering costs to zero
– Carrying cost is minimized by
reducing inventories to low
levels

Cost Accounting and Control

JIT System Five Key Elements:
1. A company must learn to rely on few
suppliers who are willing to make
frequent (even daily) deliveries in
small lots.
2. A company must improve its product
flow lines by creating an individual
flow line for each separate product.

Cost Accounting and Control 49


JIT System Five Key Elements:
3. A company must reduce the setup
time between production runs. One
way to do this is through employee
training. Another way is through
automation by creating a flexible
manufacturing system (FMS). An FMS
is just one part of the overall concept
of computer-integrated manufacturing
in which a company’s business
functions are integrated with its
manufacturing functions.

Cost Accounting and Control 50


JIT System Five Key Elements:
4. A company must develop a system of
total quality control (TQC) over its
parts and materials. In the absence of
TQC, it would be impossible to
successfully implement a JIT system.
TQC starts with suppliers, who must
inspect goods before they are shipped
to ensure that the goods are free of
defects. The company’s own
employees are responsible to inspect
their own work before sending
partially completed units on to the
next work station.
Cost Accounting and Control 51
JIT System Five Key Elements:
5. A company must develop a flexible
work force. Since the plant layout in
JIT environment is different from that
of a conventional factory, workers
must be multi-skilled. In additional to
being able to operate all of the
machines in a manufacturing cell,
workers must also be able to perform
routine maintenance on these
machines.

Cost Accounting and Control 52


DIFFERENTIATE THE JIT SYSTEM
FROM THE TRADITIONAL COSTING
SYSTEM
Learning Outcome 2
JIT
Costing vs Just in time costing differs from
traditional costing with regard to the
Traditional accounts used and the timing of
cost recording.
Costing

Cost Accounting and Control 54


• There are basically three major
differences: JIT
1. Instead of using separate
Costing vs
accounts for Material and Work
in Process as in traditional
Traditional
costing, JIT costing combines Costing
these into a Raw and in
Process account.

Cost Accounting and Control


55
2. Direct labor is usually
JIT considered a minor cost time in
a JIT setting so no separate
Costing vs account for direct labor is
created. Direct labor and factory
Traditional overhead are usually charged to
Costing a Conversion Cost account or
sometimes direct to Cost of
Goods Sold account.

Cost Accounting and Control 56


3. In traditional costing overhead
is applied to products as they
are being produced and is
recorded into the Work in JIT
Process account. In JIT
costing, overhead is not Costing vs
applied to production until they
are completed. When products Traditional
are completed under JIT
costing, labor and overhead is Costing
added to Cost of Goods Sold,
since the goods are sold soon
after production is completed.

Cost Accounting and Control


57
• Materials are delivered to a
factory immediately prior to
Just-In- their use in production.
Time (JIT) • Reduces inventory carrying
costs.
Materials • Reducing inventory levels
Control through JIT may increase
processing speed.
• Backflush costing is the
accounting system used by
JIT systems.

58
Cost Accounting and Control
• Backflush costing is a costing
system that omits recording
some or all of the journal
Backflush entries relating to the cycle
costing from purchase of direct
materials (stage 1) to
production resulting in Work
in process (stage 2) to
manufacture of finished goods
(stage 3) and to the sale of
finished goods (stage 4).

59
Cost Accounting and Control
• When journal entries for one
or more stages in the cycles
Backflush are omitted, the journal entries
for subsequent stage use
costing normal or standard costs to
work backward to flush out the
costs in the cycle for which
journal entries were not made.
• No separate accounting for
work in process is made.

60
Cost Accounting and Control
• Actual conversion costs are
recorded as incurred, just the
same as conventional recording
systems.
Backflush • Conversion costs are then
applied to products at various
costing trigger points.
• It is assumed that any conversion
costs not applied to products are
carried forward and disposed of
at year end.
• Under backflush costing, costs
are applied to products when
production is completed.
