JIT MANUFACTURING
 It’s a system that targets reducing the times a product spends going through
production and, at the same time, cutting back the response time from suppliers.
 Controlling the variables is the key to holding down production costs while
increasing productivity.
 It’s a pull approach to meet customer demands as & when it flows from a
customer.
 It’s a tool of lean Manufacturing process.
 Just-in-time (JIT) manufacturing is also known as the Toyota Production System (TPS)
because the car manufacturer Toyota adopted the system in the 1970s.
BENEFITS AND OBJECTIVES :
 Reduction in inventory
 Improved quality
 Reduced space requirements
 Shorter lead times
 Lower production costs
 Increased productivity
 Increased machine utilization
 Greater flexibility
EXAMPLE :
 One example of a JIT inventory system is a car manufacturer that operates with low inventory
levels but heavily relies on its supply chain to deliver the parts it requires to build cars, on an
as-needed basis. Consequently, the manufacturer orders the parts required to assemble the cars,
only after an order is received.
DISADVANTAGES AND RISKS :
 It becomes necessary to find suppliers that are close by or can supply materials quickly with
limited advance notice.
 Employees are at risk of precacrious work when employed by factories that utilize just-in-time
techniques. 
 Natural and man-made disasters will disrupt the flow of energy, goods and services. The
down-stream customers of those goods and services will, in turn, not be able to produce their
product or render their service because they were counting on incoming deliveries "just in
time" and so have little or no inventory to work with.
TECHNEAQUES USED WITH
JIT :
List of methodologies of JIT manufacturing that "are important but not exhaustive"
 Housekeeping – physical organization and discipline.
 Make it right the first time – elimination of defects.
 Setup reduction – flexible changeover approaches.
 Lot sizes of one – the ultimate lot size and flexibility.
 Uniform plant load – leveling as a control mechanism.
 Balanced flow – organizing flow scheduling throughput.
 Skill diversification – multi-functional workers.
CONTINUED...
 Control by visibility – communication media for activity.
 Preventive maintenance – flawless running, no defects.
 Fitness for use – producibility, design for process.
 Compact plant layout – product-oriented design.
 Streamlining movements – smoothing materials handling.
 Supplier networks – extensions of the factory.
 Worker involvement – small group improvement activities.
 Cellular manufacturing – production methods for flow.
 Pull system – signal [kanban] replenishment/resupply systems.
