New employees in an organisation typically undergo a period of relatively intense training when they commence their employment. Often the quantity of information imparted is too large for the newcomers to assimilate during the short training period. Moreover, much of the information may not be relevant until months or even years after the initial training period, by which time it has long been ...

research interests have been focused on the concept of penalizing jobs both for being early and for being tardy because not only of modern competitive industrial challenges of providing a variety of products at a very low cost by smoothing productions but also of its increasing and exciting computer applications. here, sequencing approaches of the mixed- model just-in-time production systems is...

This article establishes a rating system for supplier’s performance from the orientation of customer satisfaction by objective-orientation driving. Its purpose is to provide a methodology of “how to integrate the capabilities between supplier and manufacturer, and to apply different strategies under the needs of quality improvements”. This study is undertaken to specify the interaction and mutu...

Just in Time (JIT) is a system designed to make an organization operate efficiently and with a minimum number of human and mechanical resources. JIT also improves quality, reduces inventory levels, and provides motivation to solve problems as soon as they occur. JIT can be defined as a system designed to eliminate waste in an organization. Waste is anything that does not add to the value of the...

The customer oriented market leaded to the growth of complexity of production and service processes. This growing complexity has increased the required logistics operations and leaded to the appearance of global supply chain strategies. There are several supply strategies, which are based on just-in-time philosophy and they are core tools of leaning. One of these JIT-based supply strategies is ...

In manufacturing, great gains in performance have been realized by a new production philosophy, which leads to "lean production". This new production philosophy is a generalization of such partial approaches as JIT, TQM, time-based competition, and concurrent engineering. In construction, lean production is little known. The concepts, principles and methods of lean production are reviewed, and ...

Many factors affect JIT implementation directly or indirectly. Factors such as product quality and lead time directly affect the implementation of JIT. On the other hand, factors such as work environment, working conditions, motivation, flexibility whether manufacturing or organizational affect JIT implementation indirectly, although their impact is no less important than those affecting direct...
