What is exactly J.I.T? J.I.T. refers to the
Just In Time. Nowadays, most of the company use J.I.T process. With J.I.T
process, we can manage to cut the cost of the production and also can eliminate
waste. However, J.I.T also includes some of systems for example Kanban system
and also Kaizen system. JIT relies on other elements in the inventory chain as
well.
Toyota Motor Corporation’s vehicle
production system is a way of ‘making things’ that is sometimes referred to as
to as a ‘ lean manufacturing system’ or a ‘just in time (JIT) system’. And has
come to be well known and studied worldwide. This production control system has
been established based on many years of continuous improvements.
JIT is Toyota’s manufacturing philosophy to
minimize waste, and the JIT production system is a subsystem controlled by Kanban.
Kanban card contain the part number, the part description, the type of
container and various workstation information. A Kanban production control
system uses simple, visual signals to control the movement of materials between
work centers. The Kanban card is used to provide an easily understood, visual
signal that a specific activity is required.
Production quality products effiently
through the complete elimination of waste, inconsistancies, and unresponable
requirements on the production line. In order to deliver a vechicle ordered by
a customer as quickly as possible, the vehicle is efficiently built within the
shortest possible period of time.
Kanban production control system divides
two main types. First is production kanban and second is withdrawal kanban.
Production kanban signals the need to produce more parts. Each kanban is
physically attached to a container. Withdrawal kanban signals the need to
withdraw parts from one work center and deliver them to the next work center.
Conclusion, JIT is very effective method to
use in all production. However, Kanban and Kaizen system can make the work
become smooth and clean. Besides, it also can fulfill customer requirement.
