Description

Just-in-time (JIT) commonly identified as Kanban is an inventory management approach on where goods are received from suppliers / 3rd party organisations only as they are required. The main purpose of this strategy is to ensure manufacturing workflows process are aimed at reducing flow times and costs within production systems and the distribution of materials. Just-in-time, or JIT, inventory system is a management technique that minimises inventory and improves efficiency.

“Just in Time” is commonly referred to as [JIT], and the workshop will outline the Benefits and Risks you will need to identify running a [JIT] program.

Benefits

Reduce Inventory Waste

  • A just-in-time method eliminates overproduction, which occurs when the supply of an item in the market overreaches the demand and leads to an accumulation of unsalable inventories.

Reduces Warehouse Cost

  • With-in a just-in-time, the warehouse holdings are reduced allowing the manufacture to improve cost savings
  • As you order only when a request is generated by the customer places, so there is no need to hold on to unwanted stoke.

Provides the Manufacturer More Control

  • In JIT, the manufacturer has entire control over the manufacturing process, which performs on a demand-pull basis. They can respond to customers’ requirements by quickly boosting the production for an in-demand product and decreasing the production for slow-moving items.

Sourcing

  • Sourcing of material is critical to the performance of meeting the demands of the customer’s request, as this can be undertaken in several ways by securing a local network through supply chain, shipping / transportation cost.

Smaller Investments

  • The Just-in-time method uses the “right first time” concept ensuring the activities are undertaken every-time right. Ensuring the investment of time, fiscal and people are matched by on the day activities.
