Текст №6 Just-In-Time production
Just-In-Time production is a system in which products are «pulled» through the manufacturing process from the end, rather than «pushed» through from the beginning. It means that nothing is bought or produced until it is needed. Each section of the production process makes the necessary units only when they are required by the next stage of the manufacturing process, or by distributors or customers.
Just-In-Time production is a Japanese idea. The system is usually credited to Taiichi Ohno at Toyota in the early 1950s, but he said he got the idea from looking at American supermarkets. According to this system components are delivered just when they’re needed, so there’s no inventory. JIT regards inventories as avoidable costs, rather than as assets.
On the other hand, it can be dangerous if, for example, one supplier doesn’t deliver on time, or delivers defective components. In order to avoid this problem the big Japanese manufacturers have large networks of subcontractors, and the whole system is based on long-term relationships and mutual trust.
There are some other advantages of JIT, apart from reduced inventory costs. There’s no risk of overproduction if demand falls, or of idle workers waiting for work-in-process to arrive. It shortens throughput time, which increases productivity. And it probably means that defects or quality problems are noticed more quickly.
American companies have also developed versions of JIT, which they call lean production, or stockless production, or continuous flow manufacture. But over here there’s always the risk of strikes or other problems, so companies prefer to keep reserve inventories.
