JIT and Automation

Since the JIT system is used, usually only shows the possibility of automation in some respects. Because it is not uncommon for companies that use JIT to follow him with possession of advanced manufacturing technology. Automation company to:
(a) increase production capacity,
(b) increase efficiency,
(c) improve the quality and service,
(d) lower the processing time,
(e) increase the output.

Automation increases the ability to track costs on various products individually. as an example of FMS cells, is a fellow of the automated JIT manufacturing cells. So. some costs which are costs not directly in the traditional environment is now a direct cost.

JIT manufacturing

JIT manufacturing uses a more centralized approach than that found in traditional manufacturing. The use of JIT manufacturing system having an impact on:
1. Improving Traceability (Traceability) costs.
2. Improving the accuracy of product cost.
3. Reducing the need for allocation of central service costs (service departments)
4. Changing behavior and the relative importance of direct labor costs.
5. Affect the pricing system and process basic orders.

The basics of JIT manufacturing and the difference with traditional manufacturing:

1. Compared with traditional JIT manufacturing.
JIT manufacturing is a demand pull system (Demand-Pull). JIT manufacturing goal is to produce a product only if the product is needed and only for the number of requests of buyers (customers). Some differences with the traditional JIT manufacturing include:
a. Low Inventory
b. Manufacturing cells and Interdisciplinary Workforce
c. Philosophy of TQC (Total Quality Control)

JIT Production

JIT production is a production scheduling system components or products on time, quality, and in accordance with the required amount by the next production stage or in accordance with customer demand.
JIT production can reduce the time and cost of production by:

1. Reduce or eliminate work in process in each workstation (work station) or the stages of product processing (the concept of zero inventory).
2. Reducing or eliminating "Lead Time" (waiting time) of production (the concept of zero wait time).
3. Continuously pushing hard to reduce machine setup costs at each stage of processing products (workstation).
4. Emphasis on the simplification of processing the product so that activities are not value-added production can be eliminated.
