Chapter 16 Just-In-Time Manufacturing System dust-in-time (JIT) manufacturing is a production system in which each component in a production line is produced immediately as needed by the next step in the production line. Traditionally, continuous manufacturing process has been based on a just- in-case philosophy: Inventories of raw materials are maintained just-in- case some items of poor quality or a key supplier is shut down by employee's strike. Finished goods are completed and stored just-in-case unexpected and rush customer orders are received: This philosophy often results in the. build up of extensive manufacturing inventories, fe Just-in-time manufacturing is dedicated to produce the right products, of high quality, and exactly at the time they are required. Under JIT manufacturing, raw materials are received just-in-time for use in ~ production, and finished goods are completed just-in-time to be sold. 679 680 Chapter 16 OBJECTIVES OF JIT MANUFACTURING The primary objective of JIT manufacturing system is to minimize if not totally eliminates all manufacturing inventories. Inventories are considered to have an adverse effect on net income because they tie up funds and storage space that could be made available for more productive purposes. JIT manufacturing systems aim to simultaneously (1) meet customer demand in a timely way, (2) with high-quality products, and (3) at the lowest possible total cost. 7 FEATURES OF JIT MANUFACTURING JIT manufacturing systems to be effective should have the following features: * The company must have dependable suppliers who are willing to deliver on short'notice exact quantities of raw materials according to precise quality specifications (even including multiple deliveries within the same day). Suppliers must also be willing to deliver the raw materials at specified department rather than at a central receiving department. * A grouping of all the different types-of equipment ‘Used to make a given product should be made. Materials move from one machine to another, and various operations are performed in sequence. Materials- handling costs are minimized. * A multi-skilled work force must be developed. Under JIT system, one worker may have the responsibility. to operate and maintain several different types of machines. A total quality control system must be applied throughout the manufacturing operations. Total quality control means no defect. Since only required quantities are produced under the pull-through approach, any defects at any department will shut down operations at subsequent departments. * The time required to get equipment, tools, and materials ready to start the production of a product (set-up time) should. be reduced. The time from when an ordet is received until it becomes a finished product (manufacturing lead time) should likewise be reduced. Reducing setup time makes production in smaller batches economical, which in turn reduces the inventory levels. Reducing. manufacturing aoa time enables a company to respond faster to changes in customer lemand. Just-In-Time Manufacturing Ssytem 681 BENEFITS OF JIT MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS The major benefit of implementing JIT manufacturing system is the lowering of the costs of inventory. Other benefits are: Manufacturing activities are significantly reduced or eliminated. Product quality and faster delivery are enhanced. Inventory storage costs are reduced or eliminated. [ Production cost savings are realized because of the improved flow of processing goods. | + Specific causes of rework, scrap, and waste are reduced if not totally eliminated. oer + Materials and work in process inventory accounts are eliminated. In place of these accounts only one account is used, Materials and In Process (MIP) also called Raw and In Process-(RIP) account. BACKFLUSH COSTING To compliment JIT manufacturing system a simplified procedures is use to allocate costs between the cost of sales and inventories. This simplified procedure is known as backflush costing. Usually costs are tracked sequentially as products pass through these four stages in a cycle from purchase of direct materials to sale of finished goods: Stage1 Stage 2 Stage 8 Stage4 Purchase Production Completion of Sale of ofRaw |S} resultingin Units of Finished Materials © Work in Process Product Goods The above sequential tracking costing system has four trigger points, corresponding to stages 1, 2, 3, and 4. Trigger points refers to a stage in the cycle from purchase of raw materials (stage 1) to sale of finished goods (stage 4) at which journal entries are made in the accounting system. 682 Chapter 16 An. alternative approach to sequential tracking is backflush costing. Backflush costing is a costing procedure that omits recording some or all of the journal entries relating to the cycle from purchase of raw materials to the sale of finished goods. When journal entries for one or more stages in the cycle are omitted, the journal entries for subsequent stage used normal or standard costs to work backward in order to flush out the costs in the cycle where journal entries were omitted. No separate accounting for work in process is made. Actual conversion costs are recorded as incurred, similarly as that under the conventional recording system. Conversion costs are then applied to products at various trigger points. It is assumed that any conversion costs not applied to products are carried forward and disposed of at year-end. The following cases will illustrate backflush costing. They differ in the _ number and placement of trigger points. Case I Case2 Case 3 Trigger Points Stage 1.Purchaseof _Stage 1.

Just-in-Time Manufacturing Ssytem g 683 COMPREHENSIVE ILLUSTRATION The following data for Gookie Manufacturing Company will be used to illustrate the backflush costing: Materials purchased on credit P195,000 Actual conversion costs incurred 126,000 Number of units manufactured 10,000 units Number of finished units sold 9,900 units Standard cost per units: Materials P 19 Conversion costs 12 There are no beginning inventories of raw materials. Any underapplied or overapplied conversion costs are adjusted to cost of goods sold at the end of the period. Case 1: Trigger points at purchase of direct materials (Stage 1), completion of goods (stage 3), and sale of finished goods (Stage 4). Trigger point 1 occurs when materials are purchased. These costs are charged to Materials and In Process Inventory account (MIP). Actual conversion costs (labor and overliead) are recorded as incurred and charged to Conversion Costs Control account. Conversion costs are applied to products at trigger point 2— transfer of unjts to Finished Goods Inventory account. Trigger point 3 occurs at the time finished goods are sold. 7 : The following are the accounting procedures to allocate costs to units sold and to inventories. 1; Record materials purchased during the period. 195,000 Entry (a) Materials and In-Process Inventory ” | : Pa 195,000 Accounts Payable 2: Record conversion costs incurred during the period. Entry (b) Conversion Costs Control 126,000 Various accounts’ 126,000 Just-In-Time Manufacturing Ssytem 685 684 Chapter 16 | 3: Determine the number of units manufactured during the period. 10,000 good units were manufactured during the period. 4: Compute the normal or standard costs per finished unit. The standard cost per unit is P31 (P19 direct materials + P12 conversion costs). 5: Record the cost of goods finished during the period. Entry (c) Finished Goods Inventory 310,000 Materials and In. Process Inv. 190,000 Applied Conversion Costs 120,000 Finished goods (10,000 units x P31) Applied Conversion Costs (10,000 units x P12) This fifth procedure gives backflush costing its name. Note that costs have not been recorded sequentially with the flow of product along its production route through work in process and finished goods. Instead, the output trigger point reaches back and pulls the standard direct materials costs from Materials and In Process Inventory and the standard conversion costs for manufacturing the finished goods. 6: Record the standard cost of goods sold during the period. Entry (@) Cost of Goods Sold 306,900 Finished Goods Inventory 306,900 9,900 units x P31. 7: Record underapplied or overapplied conversion costs. Companies that use backflush costing usually have low inventories, so’ that underapplied or overapplied conversion costs is written off to cost of goods sold only. The journal entry to dispose of the difference between the actual conversion costs incurred and standard conversion costs applied is: Entry (4) Applied Conversion Costs 120,000 Cost of Goods Sold 6,000 Conversion Costs Control 126,000 At the end of the period, the ending inventory balances are: Materials‘and In Process Inventory (P195,000—P190,000) P5,000 Finished Goods Inventory (P310,000 — P306,900) 3,100 Total P8,100 Iustration 16-1, Section A on page 687, summarizes the journal entries for this case. Illustration 16-2.on page 688 shows the general ledger overview of this version of backflush costing. The elimination of the usual Work in Process account reduces the detailed recording in the accounting system. Case 2: Trigger points are purchase of raw materials (stage 1) and sale of finished goods (stage 4) “This case is much more different from a sequential tracking costing i i it d Case 1 system than the backflush costing system iri Case 1. This case ant have the same trigger point, purchase of raw materials. But the second trigger point in Case 2 is the sale, not the completion of finished units. Illustration 16-1 in Section B, presents the journal entries for oe Fe at two trigger points are represented by transactions. (1) and @. & ty @ has the same trigger point as in Case 1, the purchase of mate: 7 ar (2) for the conversion costs incurred is recorded in the eat iad a Case 1. Trigger point 2 is the sale of finished goods (not the completion fr finished units, as in Case 1), so there is no entry correspon ti is eee (8) of Case 1. The cost of finished units is computed only i pier asia goods are sold, which corresponds to entry (4) of Case 1: 9,91 1 ae coats x P31 per unit = P306,900, which is composed of direct mat ~ (9.900 (9,900 units x P19 per unit = P188,100) and applied conversion co’ , ‘units x P12 per unit = P118,800). No conversion costs are inventoried. As compared in Case 1, Case. aoe not assign P1,200 (P12 per unit x 100 units) of conversion cos' Sen ce goods inventory. Hence, Case 2 allocates P1,200 less in conversion Rosse to inventory relative to the conversion costs allocated to inventory er Case 1. Of the P126,000 in conversion cost, P118,800 Lhe 9418 800) - standard cost to the units sold. The remaining P7,200 (126,001 é 1 Sention of conversion costs is underapplied. ‘Entry (5) in Dlustration, 1 irk ios coat B, presents the journal entry to write off these underapplied co’ of goods sold. ‘The ending inventory of materials is P6,900 (P5,000. direct en caer on hand + P1,900 direct materials in the 100 units manufactured k 7 unsold). Illustration 16-2,-Section B, shows the general ledger ore! of this version of backflush costing. Entries are keyed to Tlustration 1 1, Section 2. This approach closely approximates the costs compute = sequential tracking when a company holds minimal work in process an finished goods inventories. 686. Chapter 16 Case 3: Trigger points are completion of good finished units of product (Stage 3) and sale of finished goods (Stage 4) This case has two trigger points, Mlustration 16-1, Section C, presents the journal entries. In contrast to Case 2, the first trigger point in Case 3 is delayed until the completion of units. It is represented by transaction (3). Since the purchase of raw materials is not a trigger point, there is no entry corresponding to transaction (1) — purchases of raw materials. Illustration 16-2, Section C, shows the general ledger overview of this version of backflush costing. Entries are keyed from Illustration 16-1, Section C. Adjusting Entries in Backflush Costing The accounting procedures illustrated in Cases, 1, 2 and 3 do not strictly adhere to generally accepted accounting principles. For example, work in process, which is an asset, exists but is not recognized in the financial statements. Users of-backflush costing, however, cite the generally accepted accounting principle of materiality in support of these versions of backflush costing. As illustrated in the three cases, backflush costing can approximate the costs that would be reported under sequential costing methods by changing the number of trigger points and where they are located. If material‘amounts of direct materials inventory or finished goods inventory exist, adjusting entries can be included into backflush closing procedures. Assume there are material differences in operating income and inventories based on a backflush costing system and the usual standard costing system. An adjusting entry can be recorded to make the backflush costing satisfy external reporting requirements. For example, the backflush entries in. Case 2 restlts in expensing all conversion costs to Cost of goods Sold (P118,800 at standard costs + P7,200 write off of underapplied conversion costs = P126,000). But suppose conversion costs were regarded as sufficiently material in amount to be included in Material Inventory. Then entry (5), closing the Conversion Costs accounts, would be revise as follows: .

Also, thé inventory account is confined solely to direct materials, whether these materials are in a storeroom, in work in process, or in finished goods. No conversion costs are inventoried. They are allocated to the units sold at standard costs. Any under or overapplied conversion costs are written off monthly to cost of goods sold. ° Required: Prepare journal entries to record the above transactions. 700 Chapter 16 Dox yem ire Two Trigger Points (Continuation 16-4) Assume the same facts as in Problem 16-4 except now there are only two trigger points, the completion of good finished units of product and the sale of finished goods. Required: Prepare journal entries for August, including the disposition of under or overapplied conversion costs. Assume no direct materials variances. Problem 1 Comparison of Process Costing and Backflushing: Unit Cost Computations. Mapayapa Company had 35 units in process, 50% converted at the beginning of April 2018, the conversion costs component of this beginning inventory was P525. There were 40 units in process, 50% converted at the end of the month. During the month, 5,000 units were completed and transferred to finished goods, and conversion costs of P250,000 were incurred. Required: (1) Carrying computations to three decimal. places, compute the conversion cost per unit for the month: (a) by the average cost method of process costing. (b)_ by dividing the total conversion cost incurred during the month - by the number of units completed during the month (do not compute equivalent units). (©) by dividing the total conversion cost incurred during the month by the number of units started during the month. (2) Using the three unit costs from Requirement (1), compute three amounts for the total conversion cost of the ending inventory of work in process to the nearest peso. (8) In light of the results of Requirement (2), which of the three methods of computing unit conversion cost would you recommend for the purpose of inventory costing. 1 (a). 1 (b). or 1 ()? Why?
