The just-in-time philosophy of manufacturing / by Roger Wayne Johnson. by Johnson, Roger Wayne. Subjects Production management   Just-in-time systems   MSEM Thesis. Description:  iv, 65 leaves : ill. ; 29 cm. Contents:  Preface -- The international market -- Just-in-time -- Just-in-time implementation. A revolution is happening in American manufacturing. It started in the 1970’s and is gaining momentum in the 1980’s. The roots of the revolution lie in the need for businesses to be internationally competitive. The impact will spread from the factory production floor, through stockrooms, suppliers, labor and unions, engineering, marketing, and ultimately to the consumer. Few aspects of traditional business methods will be untouched by the revolution. The prize of success will be the survival of manufacturing in the United States. The culture and resource conditions of Japan have given birth to a manufacturing concept that is humbling in its simplicity. It is logical, rational, and beautiful. It is the reason Japan can produce at significantly less cost than the United States. It is the relentless pursuit of waste elimination. It is the “Just-In-Time” concept. This document will describe the international market conditions, and how they developed, followed by a basic explanation of the Just-In-Time principle. The final chapter will address JIT implementation with its advantages, pitfalls, and problems. The goals of the document are to convince the reader that there is an immediate need for American manufacturing to change, and to offer guidelines for designing and implementing the JIT philosophy.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Walter Schroeder Library Master's Theses AC805 .J64 1986 Available Add Copy to MyList Format: HTMLPlain textDelimited Subject:   Email to:
