    Just-In-Time (JIT) Manufacturing aims to eliminate waste and seek continuous improvement to create a manufacturing system responsive to market needs. Products, subassemblies, and components are produced and assembled just before they are needed to reduce work-in-process and lead times. JIT is viewed as a production methodology that improves overall productivity through waste elimination and improved quality. It provides efficient production and delivery of necessary parts in the right quantity, at the right time and place using minimum facilities. Seven wastes are targeted for elimination including overproduction, waiting, transportation, processing, stocks, motion, and defects. Benefits of JIT include reduced costs, improved quality, faster design changes, higher productivity and flexibility, and

    Just-In-Time (JIT) Manufacturing is a philosophy rather than a technique.

    By eliminating all
    waste and seeking continuous improvement, it aims at creating manufacturing system that is
    response to the market needs.

    The phase just in time is used to because this system operates with low WIP (Work-In-Process)
    inventory and often with very low finished goods inventory. Products are assembled just before
    they are sold, subassemblies are made just before they are assembled and components are made
    and fabricated just before subassemblies are made. This leads to lower WIP and reduced lead
    times. To achieve this organizations have to be excellent in other areas e.g. quality.

    According to Voss, JIT is viewed as a “Production methodology which aims to improve overall
    productivity through elimination of waste and which leads to improved quality”.

    Jit in Production and Operation Management


    JIT provides an efficient production in an organization and delivery of only the necessary parts
    in the right quantity, at the right time and place while using the minimum facilities”.

    Seven Wastes
    Shiego Shingo, a Japanese JIT authority and engineer at the Toyota Motor Company identifies
    seven wastes as being the targets of continuous improvement in production process. By attending
    to these wastes, the improvement is achieved.

    1. Waste of over production eliminate by reducing set-up times, synchronizing quantities


    and timing between processes, layout problems. Make only what is needed now.
    2. Waste of waiting eliminate bottlenecks and balance uneven loads by flexible work force
    and equipment.
    3. Waste of transportation establishes layouts and locations to make handling and transport
    unnecessary if possible. Minimize transportation and handling if not possible to
    eliminate.
    4. Waste of processing itself question regarding the reasons for existence of the product and
    then why each process is necessary.
    5. Waste of stocks reducing all other wastes reduces stocks.

    Wastes in operations
    6. Waste of motion study for economy and consistency. Economy improves productivity
    and consistency improves quality. First improve the motions, then mechanize or automate
    otherwise. There is danger of automating the waste.
    7. Waste of making defective products develop the production process to prevent defects
    from being produced, so as to eliminate inspection. At each process, do not accept defects
    and makes no defects. Make the process fail-safe. A quantify process always yield quality
    product.

    Benefits of JIT

    The most significant benefit is to improve the responsiveness of the firm to the changes in the
    market place thus providing an advantage in competition. Following are the benefits of JIT:

    1. Product cost—is greatly reduced due to reduction of manufacturing cycle time, reduction
    of waste and inventories and elimination of non-value added operation.
    2. Quality —is improved because of continuous quality improvement programs.
    3. Design—Due to fast response to engineering change, alternative designs can be quickly
    brought on the shop floor.
    4. Productivity improvement.
    5. Higher production system flexibility.
    6. Administrative and ease and simplicity.
