“Just-in-Time” is the ideal practice for the shop floor

Most factories face situations where products could not be assembled due to the lack of certain components.

In such a case, workers would need to hunt for missing components on a regular basis.

Some factories decide to hold an excess amount of inventories to avoid a shortage of components and late deliveries of finished products to end users.

Holding excess inventories also has a consequence for wasteful components if improperly allocated to accommodate the production output for any given moment.

In such cases, a dramatic increase in production costs often becomes inescapable.


机上の空論

ERP was able to provide only a theorized “Just-in-Time” that may not yield desired results in practice.  The desired result of “Just-in-Time” is only attainable when its meaning and application are clearly understood.
