JIT In The Manufacturing Industry

Improvement in quality and expense control are important to business for work performance enhancement and fulfilling customers’ demand or requirements. The manufacturing industries in the world have undergone the tremendous change in the last thirty years. Because of this, there are drastic changes in the management approach techniques used in production and process as well as the expectation of customers (Ahuja et al, 2006). For example, if one would have many inventories, it will eat up space which increases costs, because it will use electricity to maintain the store. Additionally, hiring employees to manage the warehouse and many inventories might become obsolete. One effective solution is using a JIT concept as a method to reduce expenses,

When people lack jobs due to the growth of such technologies, they may end up living poor lives which may also affect their social state. The self-esteem may lower which can lead the person to be involved in mysterious activities. There is a large gap between the users and the machines. However, there are cases whereby individuals are not taught on how to interact with the device interface. Lack of understanding can pose a threat to an organization due poor system coordination. In the previous research, the researchers considered the practical aspect of the system, but they never took a consideration on the effects of such technologies to human beings. Although the benefits of using JIT are quite many and mentioned more frequently than any potential limitations, several shortcomings have been identified as follows: The culture of each country will make the differences is a possible limitation of the JIT concept. It is true that in every advantage there will always be a drawback. The benefits associated with JIT may be culturally bound and somewhat limited to the Japanese environment. Loss of individual autonomy has been suggested as another possible shortcoming of JIT. Loss of ability to manage the choices has largely been applied to cycle times with limitation or the ‘time between recurring activities’ (Akbar, J. 2013). The Just-In-Time implementation problem reported was the integration of suppliers. To build a good relationship with suppliers, demanding an immediate change in delivery time and quality may not be realistic and may result in confrontation between the company and its suppliers. The precise nature of the problem took a variety of forms, for example, company 1 uses mainly European suppliers and company 2 uses many suppliers from the far east, hence they need to hold inventory to counteract long delivery lead
