Barriers to Successful JIT

Why JIT?

"Overproduction is the central evil
that leads to waste in other areas of the production process."
~ Masaaki Imai

In Kaizen, JIT is a is a collection of concepts and techniques for improving productivity.

JIT is a process aimed at increasing value-added and eliminating waste by providing the environment to perfect and simplify the processes.

Kaizen Mindset

What is JIT?

JIT is a vital component of Lean Manufacturing.

Toyota Production System

Example of a Lean Value Chain

Just-in-time manufacturing means producing the necessary items in necessary quantities at the necessary time. It is a philosophy of continuous improvement in which non-value-adding activities (or wastes) are identified and removed.

Implementing Kaizen: 7 Conditions

Putting this concept into practice means a reversal of the traditional thinking process. In conventional production processes, units are transported to the next production stage as soon as they are ready. In JIT, each stage is required to go back to the previous stage to pick up the exact number of units needed.

JIT-Style Learning and Training

The best kind of quality oriented learning (and training) is just-in-time-style learning, that is, learning that happens on the job and knowledge which is applied immediately as needed. The sooner you can apply the material you learned, the better you will understand it and the longer it will be retained. Instead of training masses of employees for long periods, in JIT-style training, education is implemented as an ongoing series of short sessions (just a few hours a week) during which employees are taught only what they can apply soon, without suffering information overload.

Innovative e-learning services create new opportunities for such on the job JIT-style learning and training. In particular, this first-ever Business e-Coach provides very effective JIT-style e-learning opportunity which is available free anytime to anybody.
