Accomplishing ‘Just-in-Time’ Production |
We present an ethnographic study of work in the control room of a
manufacturing plant. |

|
Characterization and Evaluation of Just-In-Time Production and
Distribution |
This papers studies the applicability of multi-agent systems to
just-in-time distribution networks. The goal is to create and
evaluate sets of intelligent agents that can cooperatively support
supply network production and distribution decisions. |

Does “Just-in-time” Mean “Right-nextdoor”? |
Evidence from the Auto Industry on the Spatial Concentration of
Supplier Networks- This paper addresses the question if the
application of this production system leads to tight geographical
linkages between assembler and supplier plants. |

Integrated Scheduling of Material Handling and Manufacturing
Activities for Just-In-Time Production of Complex Assemblies |
This paper considers the simultaneous scheduling of material
handling transporters and manufacturing equipment (such as machines
and workcenters) in the production of complex assembled products. |

Just-in-Time Schedules for the Small Make-To-Order Shop |
In order to use Just-In-Time production methods in a small,
Make-To-Order environment it is necessary to achieve as balanced a
workload as possible. This paper gives an algorithm to determine a
production schedule which balances the workload in a situation with
unpredictable demand. |

|
Just-in-Time Under Fire |
Though increasing usage of JIT techniques is reported, academics as
well as practitioners caveat the increasing popularity of JIT
philosophy. They suggest that pure JIT is appropriate only for
limited economic environments, that it is ineffective in some
organizational cultures, that it is unattainable by many suppliers,
and that, in practice, it does not reduce global costs. |

Literature
Just-in-Time Manufacturing - An introduction
by T.C. Cheng, S. Podolsky, Susan Podolsky
discusses in-depth the implementation of JIT manufacturing. The
objectives are twofold: firstly, to acquaint the reader with the overall
JIT concept and the factors necessary for its implementation, and
secondly to reinforce this with an actual case study of JIT
implementation in a manufacturing company.
Just-in-Time: Making It Happen: Unleashing the Power of Continuous Improvement
by William A. Sandras
Based on his extensive experience Sandras reveals a complete procedure
for successfully managing all of the challenges and possible obstacles
in an actual implementation. Organizing the implementation team,
developing a working Kanban system, restructuring the shop floor,
creating efficient connections between suppliers and customers,
measuring performance and integrating JIT with TQM are among the issues
discussed.
