Introduction “Just in time” is a philosophy of management that intends to minimize wastes due from manufacturing processes. This is done by manufacturing only the correct amount and combination of the required components at an appropriate place and time. The criterion is that wasteful practices accrue from activities that incur costs without any revenue generation or addition of value to the product as it were. These are like transferring stocks from one store to another or by just storing them. In JIT the main objective intended is to reduce the operations that do not add value and those inventories whose turnover is too low. The effect is a reduction in the time for materials to go through the production process, reduced lead times for deliveries, greater utilization of equipment, lowered space use, lowered costs and hence much more profits realized. This system found its beginnings in Japan and has been utilized since the early of 1970s. Taiichi Ohno who is its brain child aimed at meeting the demands of customers with minimized delays. Previously it was not simply intended to reduce waste but to attend to the precise needs that customers brought. Also known as lean production, JIT has been able to successfully reduce the levels of inventory at different levels of production. This system also has the name, stockless production. Proper coordination among the stations is quite important so that what one station produces is exactly what the second station requires. While at it, a station will only draw in what it needs from the previous station. It is important that various capacities of the stations that are involved are properly balanced and matched. This will help to totally reduce any hitches that are involved in the production processes. Queuing or stoppages in the manufacturing processes are minimized. JIT incorporates the pull system which assists greatly in the movement of inventories through production lines. In this system, the needs of the subsequent station particularly affect what will have to be produced in the preceding station. Under JIT, processes are defined by how the pulling components in one station to another are enhanced. JIT does work best in the production flows where change is not eminent and there is repetition of processes from time to time. This is particularly used mostly in the assembly of vehicles where each car will have to receive the same treatment as that previous one. Semi conductor companies have equally used JIT in beneficial ways. However, not all the semiconductor companies utilize the JIT system since their operations are too complex to be accommodated by the system. JIT therefore does pose the challenge of having to effectively create a set up that can accommodate processes. Benefits of JIT JIT system has several benefits to it. Minimization of daily running expenses is one of the benefits that accrue to this method. Equally, greater performance and through put are witnessed in the utilization of this system. While the through put is being processed, quality is assured in the use of JIT. As previously noted, the delivery will be improved so that no stock outs are witnessed. Customers are in a position to feel the satisfaction that they receive using JIT. Flexibility is an attribute that
