JUST IN TIME
Operational Systems for
Manufacturing… JIT and Lean
Production
Informal review…
Work on this during
class today. Thanks
for your inputs…
As a Manufacturing Leader...
You will play a
critical role in the
management and
control of the
companies critical
information.
The Problem of
Manufacturing…
Getting the right material and physical
resources together at the right place
and at the right time to meet the
customer’s requirements.
Desired features, On time delivery, High
Quality, at the best price…
Breaking down the problem…
Getting the material
needed…
Having enough
inventory of material
to support
production
Not having too
much inventory and
extra costs…
Economic Order Quantity and Reorder Point Planning Model

Manufacturing and CIM
Systems…
Where the action is!
Background reading…
JUST IN TIME:
Only what is needed, nothing
more...
To have only the right materials, parts
and products in the
right place at the right time.
THE SEVEN WASTES
from Shigeo Shingo in Robert W. Halls book
Attaining Manufacturing Excellence, 1987
Waste of over production
Waste of waiting
Waste of transportation
Waste of processing itself
Waste of stocks
Waste of motion
Waste of making defective products
Claims for JIT:
reduced inventory
reduced WIP
shorter lead times

not too early, not to late...
JIT is the result businesses want,
not a starting point
What happens with JIT…
Eliminate non-value added activities 
less time spent and less money spent...
Involve your suppliers and customers
eliminate duplications, non value addded activ.
Shorter Set-up time and less WIP 
Faster through-put, less time, higher quality
JIT Action Areas…
Develop people - increase
skills,productivity, morale
Eliminate waste in all areas
Optimize materials handling and production
flow
Control Tooling
Increase quality
Improve continuously!
Develop the pipeline
flow... then work to
shorten it!
Eliminate multiple locations
Contract the plant layout
Eliminate the "pipeline failures"



Reliability
Quality
People
Reduce "changeover times” and “lot sizes"
significantly
Use "mind technology" before applying high
technology!
Arvin Cell… with 6 operators
Bend Pipe and
trim inlet end
flange and product
assembly
Heat and form
inlet end
Weld flange brackets
and assembly
Size and
inspect/test
Dimension check
and leak test
Traditional Production Line… 6 people
First pass work cell design… 3 people
Second try – work cell design – 1 person
Floor Space
Reduction
nearly 50%
Documented savings…

Customer rejects reduced 95%

Scrap reduced 62%

Work in process reduced 91%

Changeover time reduced by 78%

Labor cost as % of sales reduced 41%
The Name Game…
JIT
Short Cycle Mfg.
Toyota Production
System
Synchronous Mfg.
Lean Manufacturing
Lean Production
Common Sense Mfg.
The Vision of “Lean” in the USA
Perhaps best stated by
James Womack, and
Daniel Jones in two
popular books…
First…
The Machine That Changed
the World (1990)
Unlocking the power of “Lean”
requires more than just
“tools”:
James Womack, and
Daniel Jones second
book…
Lean Thinking (1996)
“Lean Thinking” presents…
An “Americanized” view of lean production





Precisely specifying value by product
Identifying the value stream for each product
Making the value-creating steps flow without
interruptions
Letting the customer “pull’ value from the
producer
Pursuing perfection (continuously improving)
Lean Production Challenges…
Developing beyond the “tools”…
Inculcating the concepts and values of
lean production into the fabric of an
organization…
Working to truly improve continuously
Expanding lean efforts out to your
customers and to all your suppliers
Lean Production can lead to
lots of open questions…
Thanks for your attention…
