Just in Time (JIT)
3 important questions on Just in Time (JIT)
What are benefits of JIT?
- Manufacturing throughput time reductions
- Less material movements in/out of storage
- Simplified MPC systems
- Greater responsiveness to market demands
- Labor cost reductions
- Better team working
- Quality cost reductions
- Material is moving shorter distances
- Reduced transactions
- Reduced changeover times
- Inventory reductions
- More satisfied/ cohesive workers
- Space reductions
- Quality improvements

What's the impact of JIT on Manufacturing Planning and Control?
JIT influences all three areas of MPC framework:
- Front end: more stable, level, daily mix schedules dictates many of the required JIT activities, such as setup time reduction.
- Engine: results an order of magnitude reduction in the complexity of detailed material planning, with a concomitant reduction in planning personnel. The overall flow time from parts to finished goods is significantly reduced.
- Back end: primary: greatly streamlined execution on the shop floor and in purchasing.
