Abstract

APICS (American Production and Inventory Control Society) defined JIT as “a philosophy of manufacturing based on planned elimination of all waste and on continuous improvement of productivity”. It has also been described as an approach with the objective of producing the right part at the right place at the right time and at minimum possible cost. JIT is a demand pull system. In short, JIT attempts to accurately match demand with supply. Products are steadily flown through the system from the supplier to the final output without slack. JIT has also been defined as a driver that establishes regular, frequent deliveries in small lots from a distributor, and which reduces inventory from a thirty days or sixty days to ten days supply and if possible then reduces to hourly supply. A simple definition of JIT is to produce and deliver finished goods just in time to be sold, subassemblies just in time to be assembled into finished goods, fabricate parts just in time to go into subassemblies, and purchase parts just in time to be transferred in to fabricated parts. JIT is observed as a near perfect situation achieved by continuous elimination of the wastes. JIT has been viewed as a strategic weapon for productivity improvement by making all processes streamlined, efficient and effective and quality oriented in an order to enhance the responsiveness of the firm towards customer needs.
