Introduce the underlying concepts of JIT and there Japanese approach to improving productivity • Identify the differences between Japanese and U.S companies with respect to implementing JIT, and explore why these differences exist • Identify the various elements that need to be included to successfully implement JIT within an organization • Illustrate how many JIT concepts have been implemented in services FundamentalsofOperations Management4e âTheMcGrawưHill Companies,Inc.,2003 142 ManagerialIssues ManagerialIssues ã Using JIT as a tool for controlling the flow of materials, identifying sources of error, and minimizing inventories • Developing the strong supplier relationships on which successful implementation of JIT depends • Achieving production linearity in manufacturing and service operations FundamentalsofOperations Management4e âTheMcGrawưHill Companies,Inc.,2003 143 JITLogic JITLogic ã JIT (just-in-time) –A coordinated approach that continuously reduces inventory while also improving quality –Seeks to achieve high volume production using minimal inventories of raw material, work in process, and finished goods –“Big” JIT (lean production) • Seeks to eliminate all forms of waste in production activities –“Little” JIT • Focuses on scheduling goods inventories and © The McGrawHill providing service resources Fundamentals of Operations

The Japanese Approach To Productivity • Fundamental National Goal –Full employment through industrialization • Target Industries for Market Dominance –Electronics, vehicles, shipbuilding –Competitive tactics: • Imported technology rather than take R&D risks • Focused engineering on the shop floor to achieve high productivity and low cost • Improved quality beyond that of competitors • Eliminated waste in all forms • Have great respect for people © The McGrawHill Fundamentals of Operations Management 4e Companies, Inc., 2003 14–6 Quasar Plant Productivity Quasar Plant Productivity *2 years
