In this paper we consider production economic and cost related yield rate in a JIT (Just in Time) system. Based on the traditional EPQ (Economic Production Quantity) model, we establish the relation between cost and yield rate. The geometric programming approach is applied in our model to solve this optimizing posynomials problem. A numerical example is carried out to verify the proposed model....

Just-In-Time (JIT) is a lean manufacturing tool, which provides the benefits of efficiency, and of minimizing unnecessary costs for many organisations. However, the risks arising from these benefits have been disregarded. These risks impact on system processes disrupting the whole supply chain. This paper proposes an inventory model that can simultaneously reduce costs and risks in JIT systems....

Implementing lean manufacturing concepts is essential for companies in the manufacturing and service industries to survive in the very competitive global marketplace. A key point is to eliminate waste while delivering value to the customers. Thus, graduates from engineering programs such as manufacturing, industrial and systems engineering and engineering management must be able to focus and ap...

Although change management panaceas have been widely discussed in the business and management literature for several decades, not many publications address the role of simulation modeling in supporting these panaceas. This paper investigates four management innovation and change programs: TQM, JIT, BPR and Process Innovation and discusses how simulation modeling could increase their effectivene...

This paper analyzes the impact of information technologies (IT) on logistics by conducting a survey of literatures on academic logistics journals and practitioner journals. The literature survey and practice find that third party logistic providers have better opportunity to leverage IT since they need to have interoperable IT systems with their customers. The business philosophy of Just-In-Tim...

With the widespread use of manufacturing philosophies such as Just-In-Time (JIT), emphasis has shifted to the simultaneous consideration of cardinal and ordinal data in supplier selection process. Traditionally, many optimization models of supplier selection assume that the average prices of related expenditures are constant. This is far beyond the real situation. In fact, suppliers usually off...

This study constructs multi-item scales to measure key components of JIT production and manufacturing strategy and examines the relationship between them, and the impact of manufacturing strategy on JIT performance for machinery, electrical & electronics and automobile industries in Japan, USA, and Italy. JIT production scales include JIT schedule, JIT layout, JIT delivery by suppliers, JIT lin...

We show that the advent of improved logistics management, including the “just-intime” (JIT) production system, can plausibly explain much of the dramatic (i.e., roughly 95%) growth of intra-firm trade in intermediates from Canadian affiliates to their U.S. MNC parents in the 1984-1995 period. The decline in tariffs and physical transport costs over this period was far too small (about 2.5%) to ...

The background and development of the new production philosophy are presented. The conceptual basis of the traditional and the new production philosophies, as applied in manufacturing, are examined. The traditional conceptual basis of construction is criticized, and an initial new interpretation of construction is given based on the new philosophy. Finally, the challenges of implementing the ne...
