INTRODUCTION
JUST IN TIME (JIT) is a management philosophy that strives to eliminate
sources of manufacturing waste by producing the right part in the right place at the
right time. Waste results from any activity, which adds cost without adding value,
such as moving and storing. JT "also known as stockless production$ should
improve profits and return on investment by reducing inventory levels "increasingthe inventory turnover rate$, improving product quality, reducing production and
delivery lead times, and reducing other costs "such as those associated with machine
setup and equipment breakdown$.
The idea of producing the necessary units in the necessary quantities at the
necessary time is described by the short term Just-in-time. Just-in-time means, for
e#ample, that in the process of assembling the parts to build a car, the necessary kind
of sub-assemblies of the preceding processes should arrive at the product line at the
time needed in the necessary quantities. f Just-in-time is reali!ed in the entire firm,
then unnecessary inventories in the factory will be completely eliminated, making
stores or warehouses unnecessary. The inventory carrying costs will be diminished,
and the ratio of capital turnover will be increased.
The implementation of this management philosophy in industries like the
automobile industry can bring about a see saw change in both quality & quantity
since in a JT system, underutili!ed "e#cess$ capacity is used instead of buffer
inventories to hedge against problems that may arise. JT applies primarily to
repetitive manufacturing processes in which the same products and components are
produced over and over again. The general idea is to establish flow processes "even

when the facility uses a Cobbing or batch process layout$ by linking work centers so
that there is an even, balanced flow of materials throughout the entire production
process, similar to that found in an assembly line. To accomplish this, an attempt is
made to reach the goals of driving all queues toward !ero and achieving the ideal lot
si!e of one unit.
This new trend in engineering production, which originally refers to the
production of goods to meet customer demand e#actly, in time, quality and quantity,
reduces wastage by nearly 99-@9D. EWasteE in this conte#t is taken in its most
general sense and includes time and resources as well as goods. This concept can
really change the phase of industrial production of goods like car & other important
utilities.

JIT ! BAC"GROUND AND HISTORY
JT is a Japanese management philosophy, which has been applied in practice
since the early %A<Bs in many Japanese manufacturing organi!ations. t was first
developed and perfected within the T#$#ta manufacturing plants by Ta%%&h% Oh'#
as a means of meeting consumer demands with minimum delays. Ta%%&h% Oh'# %
frequently referred to as the ather # JIT.
Toyota was able to meet the increasing challenges for survival through anapproach that focused on people, plants and systems. Toyota realised that JT would
only be successful if every individual within the organisation was involved and
committed to it, if the plant and processes were arranged for ma#imum output and
efficiency, and if quality and production programs were scheduled to meet demands
e#actly.
JT manufacturing has the capacity, when properly adapted to the
organisation, to strengthen the organisationFs competitiveness in the market place
substantially by reducing wastes and improving product quality and efficiency of
production.
There are strong cultural aspects associated with the emergence of JT in Japan.

• +ompanies focus on group effort, which involves the combining of talents and
sharing knowledge, problem-solving skills, ideas and the achievement of a
common goal.• Work itself takes precedence over leisure. t is not unusual for a Japanese
employee to work %:-hour days.
• 5mployees tend to remain with one company throughout the course of their
career span. This allows the opportunity for them to hone their skills and
abilities at a constant rate while offering numerous benefits to the company.
These benefits manifest themselves in employee loyalty, low turnover costs and
fulfillment of company goals.

ELEMENTS OF JIT
There are some very important elements in Cust in time manufacturing which
makes it a successful philosophy. They are
• Atta&+%'g /'0ae'ta- pr#2-e - anything that does not add value to the
product.
• De,%%'g $te to identify problems.
• Str%,%'g #r %p-%&%t$ - simpler systems may be easier to understand, easier
to manage and less likely to go wrong.
• A pr#0/&t #r%e'te0 -a$#/t - produces less time spent moving of materials
and parts.
• 3/a-%t$ &#'tr#- at #/r&e - each worker is responsible for the quality of his
or her own output.

f the market is a large and a growing one and forecasts are correct, then this
would not be a problem. The merican market was Cust that. 2o it is safe to state that
the merican production system resulted from the characteristics of its market. 8or
e#ample, a refrigeration company, making two si!es of refrigerators, one small and
one large would set up separate lines or plants, because the market Custified it.
(n the other hand the Japanese market is much smaller and fragmented.
Lariety is large and volumes are low. 2pace is also a limitation. t was there fore a
fit situation for the evolution of a production system to cater to this kind of market.

THE TOYOTA PRODUCTION SYSTEM
A/t##2%-e Ma'/a&t/r%'g
Today, automobile manufacturing is the worldFs largest manufacturing
activity. fter 8irst World War, 1enry 8ord and 0eneral 7otorsF lfred 2loan
moved world manufacture from centuries of craft production led by 5uropean firms
into the age of mass production. 6argely as a result, the *nited 2tates soon
dominated the world economy.
T#$#ta Pr#0/&t%#' S$te
fter 2econd World War, 5iCi Toyoda and Taiichi (hno at the Toyota motor
company in Japan pioneered the concept of Toyota =roduction 2ystem. The rise of
Japan to its current economic pre-eminence quickly followed, as other companies
and industries copied this remarkable system. 7anufacturers around the world are
now trying to embrace this innovative system, but they are finding the going rough.
The companies that first mastered this system were all head-quartered in one
country-Japan. 1owever, many Western companies now understand Toyota
=roduction 2ystem, and at least one is well along the path of introducing it.
2uperimposing this method on the e#isting mass-production systems causes great
pain and dislocation.
=erhaps the best way to describe the Toyota production system is to contrast it
with &rat pr#0/&t%#' and a pr#0/&t%#', the two other methods humans have
devised to make things.

The Toyota production system is a technology of comprehensive production
management the Japanese invented a hundred years after opening up to the modern
world. The basic idea of this system is to maintain a continuous flow of products in
factories in order to fle#ibly adapt to demand changes. The reali!ation of such
production flow is called Just-in-time production, which means producing only
necessary units in a necessary quantity at a necessary time. s a result, the e#cess
inventories and the e#cess work-force will be naturally diminished, thereby
achieving the purposes of increased productivity and cost reduction.
The basic principle of Just-in-time production is rationalN that is, the Toyota
production system has been developed by steadily pursuing the orthodo# way of
production management. With the reali!ation of this concept, unnecessary
intermediate and finished product inventories would be eliminated. 1owever,

t should be emphasi!ed here that these three goals cannot e#ist independently or
be achieved independently without influencing each other or the primary goal of cost
reduction. ll goals are output of the same systemN with productivity as the ultimate
purpose and guiding concept, the Toyota production system strives to reali!e each of
the goals for which it has been designed. efore discussing the contents of the
Toyota production system in detail, an overview of this system is in order. The
outputs or result side as well as the inputs or constituent side of the production
system are depicted.

Just-in-time basically means to produce the necessary units in the necessary
quantities at the necessary time. utonomation "EJidokaE in Japanese$ may be
loosely interpreted as autonomous defects control. t supports Just-in-time by neverallowing defective units from the preceding process to flow into and disrupt a
subsequent process. Two concepts also key to the Toyota production system include
8le#ible work force "E2hoCinkaE in Japanese$ which means varying the number of
workers to demand changes, and +reative thinking or inventive ideas "EsoikufuE$, or
capitali!ing on workers suggestions.

inventory and the longer the lead-time, the more room for error. The weakness of a
pull system "kanban$ is that following the JT production philosophy is essential,

Pr#0/&t%#'
"a'2a' specifies the kind and quantity of the product which the
preceding process must produce.
+oncept of kanban is e#plained as a device which prevents over production. 8or
e#ample on a single track line in the railways a key is given to the train driver as he
leaves the railway station. When he reaches the ne#t station he gives this key to the
station master. The key now unlocks the signal allowing the train to move forward.
nother key is now given which the train driver hands over to the ne#t station. The
key in this e#ample is the kanban and the train is the quantity of material which
passes from one process to the ne#t. The train in the opposite direction returns the
key or kanban. =lease note it is only one train and therefore quantity is controlled
n case of factories a kanban is a document which controls the quantity
to be produced and in what time. 8inal assembly personnel are given the customer?s
order. s they draw the material they hand over a kanban to the proceeding process
to replace the material drawn. The proceeding process manufactures the product in
the quantity and time as per the kanban and delivers it to the succeeding process. n
turn it consumes the material while processing and releases a kanban to its
proceeding process. n this manner the chain continues throughout the factory to the
stage of raw material.
"a'2a', which is a document, carries three t$pe # %'#rat%#'<
t identifies the product or material.
t indicates the stage of processing to be carried out, till when it is to be
carried out and in what amounts it is to be carried out.

2ince production is repetitive in an automobile industry, kanban can be re used.
y limiting the number of kanbans in circulation one can eliminate the waste of over
production and minimi!e stocks. kanban indicates total time of delivery. This
means from the time kanban is released to the parts being physically available at the
required point. 2ay in an assembly 9 piece are consumed in an hour. /anban time is
two hours. Then there may be two kanban of 9 pieces each in circulation.
+ontinuous improvement would be carried out to reduce the delivery time to one
hour and eliminate one kanban. 8urther improvements may reduce the quantity of

n short, the kanban system is an information system to harmoniously control
the production quantities in every process. t is a tool to achieve Cust-in-time
production. n this system what kind of units and how many units needed are written
on a tag-like card called /anban. The /anban is sent to the people of the preceding
process from the subsequent process. s a result, many processes in a plant are
connected with each other. This connecting of processes in a factory allows for
better control of necessary quantities for various products.
The /anban system is supported by the followingH

n order to reali!e Just-in-time perfectly, %BB per cent good units must flow to
the prior process, and this flow must be rhythmic without interruption. Therefore,
quality control is so important that it must coe#ist with the Just-in-time operation
throughout the /anban system. utonamation means to build in a mechanism a
means to prevent mass-production of defective work in machines or product lines.utonamation is not automation, but the autonomous check of abnormality in the
process. The autonomous machine is a machine to which an automatic stopping
device is attached. n Toyota factories, almost all the machines are autonomous, so
that mass-production of defects can be prevented and machine breakdowns are

lines of manual work. f something abnormal happens in a product line, the worker
pushes stop button, thereby stopping his whole line. 8or the purpose of detecting
troubles in each process, an electric light board, called A'0#'5 indicating a line stop,
is hung so high in a factory that it can easily be seen by everyone. The ndon in the
Toyota system has an important role in helping this autonomous check, and is a

The idea of producing the necessary units in the necessary quantities at the
necessary time is described by the short term Just-in-time. Just-in-time means, for
e#ample, that in the process of assembling the parts to build a car, the necessary kind
of sub-assemblies of the preceding processes should arrive at the product line at the
time needed in the necessary quantities. f Just-in-time is realised in the entire firm,
then unnecessary inventories in the factory will be completely eliminated, making
stores or warehouses unnecessary. The inventory carrying costs will be diminished,
and the ratio of capital turnover will be increased.
1owever, to rely solely on the central planning approach which instructs the
production schedules to all processes simultaneously, it is very difficult to realise
Just-in-time in all the processes for a product like an automobile, which consists of
thousands of parts. Therefore, in Toyota system, it is necessary to look at the
production flow converselyN in other words, the people of a certain process go to the
preceding process to withdraw the necessary units in the necessary quantities at the
necessary time. Then what the preceding process has to do is produce only enough
quantities of units to replace those that have been withdrawn.

customisation is ma#imum at the final stage. 8or e.g. +ustomer would chose colour
seats etc. this happens at the assembly. 1owever at the aggregate stage a particular
model would have a specific engine, transmission etc. many common parts go into
different models. 8inally the same steel and pig iron goes into different parts.
2chematically it would as below.

=lanning system for materials can be based on the forecast where as planning
system for final assembly must be based on accepted orders and there is a transition
when one moves from raw material to finished product planning.
The result of Toyota?s planning process is as followsN if a special car is
ordered in Japan at Toyota dealer, it is immediately transferred to head office and
onwards to Toyota motors .through computers this information is sent to the
assembly plant. With in two days the required car is manufactured. t takes
ma#imum si# days to transport it and another two days are kept as allowance. Thus a
customer?s special car can be delivered in ten days. n contrast if one wishes to purchase a specific colour car in ndia the dealer does not have in stock or it can be
delivered when the company takes up a batch of that particular colour. n case the
colour is not a standard one, one may never get it at all. We have come some way
from 1enry 8ords we can deliver all colours as long as they are blackK.
1ow does Toyota assemble a special car in two daysP )oes it mean that
manufacture of car really take place in Cust two daysP The answer to these questionscan be obtained by observing the planning and e#ecution system in a little detail.

9. Pre,e't%,e a%'te'a'&eH use machine and worker idle time to maintain
equipment and prevent breakdowns
>.F-e7%2-e *#r+ #r&e
H workers should be trained to operate several machines,
to perform maintenance tasks, and to perform quality inspections. n general,
the attitude of respect for people leads to giving workers more responsibility
for their own work.
@. Re/%re /pp-%er /a-%t$ a/ra'&e a'0 %p-ee't a >er# 0ee&t /a-%t$
pr#graH errors leading to defective items must be eliminated, since there are
no buffers of e#cess parts. quality at the source "Cidoka$ program must be
implemented to give workers the personal responsibility for the quality of the
work they do, and the authority to stop production when something goes
wrong. Techniques such as EJT lightsE "to indicate line slowdowns or
stoppages$ and Etally boardsE "to record and analy!e causes of production
stoppages and slowdowns to facilitate correcting them later$ may be used.
<. Sa--4-#t (%'g-e /'%t) &#',e$a'&e8 use a control system such as a kanban
"card$ system to convey parts between workstations in small quantities
"ideally, one unit at a time$. n its largest sense, JT is not the same thing as a
kanban system, and a kanban system is not required to implement JT "some
companies have instituted a JT program along with a 7'= system$, although
JT is required to implement a kanban system and the two concepts are
frequently equated with one another.

CONCLUSION
8rom this study, it is understood that, in this modern competitive world, where
only those industries, which provide ma#imum customer satisfaction at attracting
prices can succeed, the JT system plays an important role, as it reduces the
manufacturing time & wastage, during production. Thus it increases the amount of
goods produced and decreases the cost of production of these goods.
This seminar stresses the need to implement JT technique in utomobile
industries &other modern industries where large-scale production takes place.
