Just-In-Time Manufacturing

1. Just-In-TimeManufacturing A PowerPoint Presentation By Stephen D. Spangler

2. A Brief Overview • Central Themes • Prerequisites for Implementation • Just-In-Time Techniques • A Brainstorming Exercise • A Competitive Edge • Major Misconceptions of JIT

3. A Brief Overview (cont’d.) • Goals of Just-In-Time Manufacturing • Advantages of Just-In-Time Manufacturing • How JIT Works • A Real World Example • An Exercise • Summary

4. Just-In-Time Manufacturing:A Definition • Uses a systems approach to develop and operate a manufacturing system • Organizes the production process so that parts are available when they are needed • A method for optimizing processes that involves continual reduction of waste

5. Central Themes SurroundingJust-In-Time • Simplicity • Quality • Elimination of Waste

6. Prerequisites for JITImplementation • A Reason for Changing • Executive Commitment • Strategic Manufacturing Plan • Commitment to Action

7. Just-In-TimeTechniques • Inventory Reduction as a Tool for Improvement • Supplier Relationships • Inventory “Pull” • Uniform Plant Loading

8. Just-In-TimeTechniques(cont’d) • Reduced Setup Times • Shop-Floor Layout and Production Cells • Total Quality Assurance • Preventive Maintenance

9. Brainstorming Exercise: • How can Just-In-Time Manufacturing be Effective in your Business?

10. A Competitive Edge • Integrating and Optimizing • Improve Continuously • Understanding the Customer

11. The Major Misconceptions of JIT • JIT is Only an Inventory Control System • It is a Method to “Push” Inventory Back to the Supplier • JIT is a Quality Control Program

12. Goals of Just-In-Time Systems • Design for Optimum Quality and Cost • Minimize resources needed for Design and Manufacturing • Be Responsive to the Customers Needs

13. Goals of Just-In-TimeSystems(cont’d) • Develop Trust and Open Relationships with Suppliers and Customers • Develop a Commitment to Improve the Total Manufacturing System

14. Advantages of JIT Manufacturing • Materials Cost Savings • Manufacturing Cost Savings • Sales Cost Savings

15. Reduction of Suppliers Long-term Contracts Reduce Order Scheduling Simplify Receiving Systems Eliminate unpacking Eliminate Inspection Eliminate inventory Stocking Eliminate Excess Material Elements in Materials Cost Saving

16. How Just-In-Time Systems Work • Requirements for JIT Manufacturing • Firm-wide Commitment • Knowledgeable Management

17. Respond to Customer Requirements Integrate all Processes in the Manufacturing System Employee Participation in Meeting Commitments Company wide Commitment to education Eliminate redundancy Reduce all Inventory Establish Continuous Improvement Goals Requirements for JIT

18. Use a pull Production System Design products for Manufacturing Develop Controllable Production Processes Have a Defect Prevention Program Reduce Setup Times Build Products to Specification Requirements for JIT(cont’d)

19. A Real World Example • The Toyota Production System

20. A JIT Exercise • Q: What are the three central themes surrounding Just-In-Time Manufacturing and why are they important?

21. Summary • A review of Just-In-Time Manufacturing Systems
