How can a company maximize revenue from product sales while simultaneously decreasing expenses and raising customer satisfaction? Just-in-time manufacturing is an effective strategy for this.  Lean thinking is a way of reasoning that emphasizes meeting customer needs promptly while still maintaining high standards of product quality and fostering a culture of constant improvement throughout a whole organization.

This approach allows businesses to anticipate consumer demand and adjust output accordingly to ensure that no resources are wasted during production. This ensures that the right products are available to clients at the right times in the right quantities.

5 Main Principles Of JIT Manufacturing

1.     Total Quality Management

When everyone in a company works toward a common goal of superior quality, the organization as a whole will thrive for the long term, as will its customers. This is the core idea behind Total Quality Management. Continuous improvement is fundamental to TQM and is seen as how this can be accomplished. In this case, quality is more crucial than low prices.

2.     Production Management

Production management involves making the most of the 6Ms (materials, workforce, machine, money, milieu, and measurement) to transform raw materials into final products. The pull method, as opposed to the push method, is at the heart of Just-in-time manufacturing management.

The goal of a push-based system is to anticipate stock requirements to satisfy customer demand. In a pull-based system, stock levels are determined by how much demand there is.

3.     Supplier Management

Effective supplier management aims to foster long-term partnerships that yield mutual benefits for both parties. If you and your suppliers work together, for instance, in JIT, you can count on receiving a flawless supply of components exactly when you need them. You can skip the inspection and get on with your day. Also, if issues arise, it's important to convey them to the provider constructively.

4.     Inventory Management

Inventory management is the process of ensuring there is always an adequate supply of goods at a reasonable price.JIT isn't a method for stock management, so this is crucial information to have. Have only as much stock on hand as will eventually be sold, and keep that number to a minimum (zero inventory).

5.     Human Resource Management

Human resource management is a set of practices that help you manage your workforce to maximize their productivity. From a Just-in-Time manufacturing perspective, what does this seem like? It involves getting everyone on board for fixing issues, improving, and fostering a culture of free dialogue and strong employee involvement.

It also discourages the micromanagement of employees, allowing them to take more ownership and pride in their work. It also entails creating an environment where workers feel valued and respected to encourage productivity.
