Just-In-Time (JIT) Defined
JIT can be defined as an integrated set of activities designed to achieve high-volume production using minimal inventories (raw materials, work in process, and finished goods).
JIT also involves the elimination of waste in production effort.
JIT also involves the timing of production resources (e.g., parts arrive at the next workstation “just in time”).

Minimizing Waste: Uniform Plant Loading
ISE - Production Management
Suppose we operate a production plant that produces a single product. The schedule of production for this product could be accomplished
using either of the two plant loading schedules below
Not uniform Jan. Units Feb. Units Mar. Units Total 1,200 3,500 4,300 9,000
or
Uniform Jan. Units Feb. Units Mar. Units Total 3,000 3,000 3,000
9,000
How does the uniform loading help save labor costs?

Determining the Number of Kanbans Needed
Setting up a kanban system requires determining the number of kanbans (or containers) needed.
Each container represents the minimum production lot size.
An accurate estimate of the lead time required to produce a container is key to determining how many kanbans are required.
ISE - Production Management
Truong Ba Huy18
The Number of Kanban Card Sets
k = Number of kanban card sets (a set is a card) D = Average number of units demanded over some time period L = lead time to replenish an order (same units of time as demand) α = Safety stock expressed as a percentage of demand during lead
time C = Container size

Truong Ba Huy19
Example 1
If the lead time for a container is one hour and a container holds ten parts and the demand per hour is twenty, the minimum number of kanbans is then
n = DL(1+ α) / Cn = 20 * 1 * (1 + 0 ) / 10 = 2
Any positive α will force more kanbans to hold safety stock.

Example 2
A switch assembly is assembled in batches of 4 units from an “upstream” assembly area and delivered in a special container to a “downstream” control-panel assembly operation.
The control-panel assembly area requires 5 switch assemblies per hour.
The switch assembly area can produce a container of switch assemblies in 2 hours.
Safety stock has been set at 10% of needed inventory.

Example 3
Consider the following production process where the machine hours available for Work Centers A, B, and C are 16, 24, and 8 hours respectively.– Calculate the number of kanbans for the WIP between
stations A and C– Calculate the number of kanbans for the WIP between
stations B and C– If it is desired for station C to be able to handle variation
of up to 10 % of the plan production, what are the number of kanbans for both a) and b) in this case.

ISE - Production Management
Truong Ba Huy34
Key elements to successful JIT (1)
Housekeeping is the organizing of the workplace for higher productivity
Quality improvement through process improvement is necessary so that there are no interruptions in the flow due to defective material
Reduce setup times allow smaller lots Preventive maintenance is practiced to
avoid unexpected interruptions
ISE - Production Management
Truong Ba Huy35
Key elements to successful JIT (2)
Incremental inventory is reduced to force problems into the open
Workers are cross-trained to allow higher efficiency for the workforce
A level schedule is maintained so that flow is easier to balance throughout the process
Operations are balanced to allow even flow and to prevent inventory between work centers

Disadvantages & Limitations Kanban is intrinsically a system for repetitive manufacturing. It
will not succeed without modification in a non- repetitive environment
requires a leveled schedule, standard containers and strict discipline
inflexible and cannot easily respond to irregular changes requires great cooperation from outside suppliers it places emphasis on process technologies, such as product based
flow configurations and may require considerable investment in developing new methods, procedures, jigs and fixtures, etc., perhaps even new capital equipment

Toyota Production System (Lean Production)
Course of Production Management
Truong Ba Huy39
“We place the highest value on actual implementation and taking
action. There are many things one doesn’t understand and
therefore, we ask them why don’t you just go ahead and take
action; try to do something? You realize how little you know and
you face your own failures and you simply can correct those
failures and redo it again and at the second trial you realize
another mistake or another thing you don’t like so you can redo it
once again. So by constant improvement, or, should I say, the
improvement based on action, once can rise to the higher level of
practice and knowledge”

Guiding Principle One-Piece Flow: make one unit at a time at the rate
of the customer demand or TAKT (German word for rhythm or meter). Using smaller buffers means that problems like quality defects become immediately visible.
TAKT is the rate of customer demand: the rate at which the customer is buying product. TAKT can be used to set the pace of production and alert workers whenever they are getting ahead or behind
ISE - Production Management
Truong Ba Huy42
Basic Approach
1. Go and see2. Analyze the situation3. Use one-piece flow and andon to surface the
problems4. Ask “why?” five times5. Andon: light signal for help: fixed- position
line stop system

Benefits of One-piece flow
1. Built-in quality2. Create real flexibility3. Create higher productivity4. Free up floor space5. Improve safety6. Improve morale7. Reduce cost of inventory

Just-In-Time JIT is a set of principles, tools, and techniques that allows a
company to produce and deliver products in small quantities, with short lead times, to meet specific customer needs. Simply put, JIT delivers the right items and the right time in the right amounts. It allows you to be responsive to the day- by-day shifts in customer demands.
JIT means removing, as much as possible, the inventory used to buffer operations against problems that may arise in production.
Shortening lead time by eliminating waste in each step of a process leads to best quality and lowest cost, while improving safety and morale.

Truong Ba Huy45
The process of continuous improvement (1)
Deming’s principle: “The next process is the customer”
Kaizen is the process of making incremental improvements, no matter how small, and achieving the lean goal of eliminating all waste that adds cost without adding value.
Kaizen teaches individual skills for working effectively in small groups, solving problems, documenting and improving processes, collecting and analyzing data, and self-managing within a peer group.
ISE - Production Management
Truong Ba Huy46
The process of continuous improvement (2)
Kaizen pushes decision making (or proposal making) down to the worker and requires open discussion and group consensus before implementing any decisions
Need to view workers as intelligent, capable employees
ISE - Production Management
Truong Ba Huy47
Waste (Muda)
1. Overproduction2. Waiting3. Unnecessary transport or conveyance4. Overprocessing or incorrect processing5. Excess inventory6. Unnecessary movement7. Defects8. Unused employee creativity

Truong Ba Huy48
Value Stream MappingISE - Production Management
• Identify all of the steps currently required to create value• Decide what the future should look like• Challenge every step: Why is this necessary?• Many steps are only necessary because of the way firms are organized
and previous decisions about technology.(Not because the customer want it)

Jidoka halts production process when there is a problem. Workers must resolve problems immediately and urgently to resume production.
Heijunka: leveling out the production schedule in both volume and variety.
A level schedule or heijunka is necessary to keep the system stable and to allow for minimum inventory.
Genchi genbutsu: Problem solving is at the actual place to see what is really going on
ISE - Production Management
Truong Ba Huy51
Benefit of level workload
Flexibility to make what the customer wants when they want it. (reduce inventory)
Reduced risk of unsold goods Balanced use of labor and machines Smoothed demand on upstream processes
and the plant’s suppliers

14 principles of the Toyota way1. Base your management decisions on a long-term
philosophy, even at the expense of short-term financial goals
2. Create continuous process flow to bring problems to surface
3. Use pull systems to avoid overproduction4. Level out the workload (Heijunka)5. Build a culture of stopping to fix problems, to get
quality right the first time (jidoka)
