Organizational Modifications to Support JIT Implementation in Manufacturing and Service Operations

Yasin, Mahmoud M., Small, Michael H., Wafa, Marwan A. 01 January 2003 (has links)
This study investigates JIT implementation practices and performance in manufacturing and service organizations in the US. Literature related to JIT usage and performance in both sectors is reviewed. A field study is then conducted to investigate the actual implementation experiences of a selected group of service and manufacturing users of JIT. Our findings from the literature and the field study are used to develop four research hypotheses that are tested using survey data from 130 manufacturing and 61 service firms. Manufacturing and service firms that had engaged in modifications such as operator and management training and improving linkages with suppliers prior to implementing their JIT systems experienced less implementation problems and achieved higher levels of success than firms that placed less emphasis on these modifications. This paper details and discusses these and other results from our study. In addition, managerial implications of our findings are presented.

An Empirical Investigation of JIT Effectiveness: An Organizational Perspective

Yasin, M. M., Small, Michael, Wafa, M. A. 01 January 1997 (has links)
The organizational facets of JIT are investigated for 130 US manufacturing firms. Five research hypotheses are formulated and tested. The results of this research are presented in the context of a conceptual framework which attempts to shed some light on the organizational facets relevant to successful JIT implementation.

Kombinering av EOQ och JIT – ett framgångsrecept? : En fallstudie av materialstyrningsmetoder och dess effekter vid ett tillväxtföretag

Frii, John, Eklund, Jesper, Agnesson, Daniel January 2008 (has links)
Background: For many organizations, the transition from being a small business to a growing company demands great changes in the internal administration and processes. One area which often is neglected during this phase of rapid expansion is the processes for handling the planning and purchasing of components. Many young companies do not use systematic methods for managing the planning and purchasing of their inbound materials, instead they put their trust in managing the stock by intuition and prior experience. It’s therefore of interest to examine the possibilities of implementing more formal methods for controlling and planning the purchasing and stock keeping in growing companies. When placing orders, there are different methods for determining the lot sizes, where the Economic Order Quantity and Just In time methods are the two most commonly used. These theories were originally formulated to facilitate the purchasing and stock planning for grand companies during the 20th century. They’re based on the assumption that the company using them are able to order in any quantity desired, which not always is a possibility for small companies. This thesis will focus on investigating if there’s a possibility to use EOQ or JIT to improve the material purchasing and planning process for a small company, and if it’s possible to combine these methods for even further improvements. Purpose: Conduct an article segmentation and based on this examine the possibility to combine the EOQ and JIT methods for control of purchasing and inventory in order to lower these costs for a small company. Method: The thesis uses a deductive approach and is carried out in the form of a case study. The research strategy was mainly quantitative. The analysis was based on data gathered through interviews and from the company’s materials planning system. Conclusion: During the analysis it was discovered that an article classification considering individual purchasing values for each of the article groups, can outperform the more classical way of forming groups based only on percentage values. The other part of the analysis showed that there are currently economic incentives for the studied company to change the current way of material control to an customer order based method for article group A and B. But due to limitations in the company’s current supplier base and the high variance of demand it’s not currently recommended for the company to switch to the JIT approach when planning the material purchasing. The EOQ approach will lower the ordering costs and inventory holding costs for all segments, and combined lower the company’s total purchasing and inventory costs with 38,4%. As a result EOQ will in the current situation be the most efficient purchasing and material planning tool for all segments.

Effektivisering av logistiklösningar : En jämförelse av nya och gamla logistiksystem vid ROT-projekt

Esseen Larsson, Alexander January 2014 (has links)
A persistent problem in the construction industry is its low margins of profit. It is often difficult to earn money due to low efficiency and high costs. Logistics on the construction site answers for a large amount of these costs and it is therefore of interest to find new, more efficient logistic solutions. The purpose of this thesis is to compare two different logistic systems and further to evaluate which one that is the most efficient and profitable. A comparison is made between the traditional logistic systems used for years and a new logistic system developed by an industry association called BEAst. The survey was conducted in cooperation with Peab Sweden AB on two of their construction sites in Västerås, Sweden. Findings show that the modern logistics system is more effective than the traditional, but that the traditional currently is more profitable. A more comprehensive establishment of the new system needs to be done in the construction industry in order to reduce the cost of logistics way, and to work out major routine in the workplace in order to minimize errors and create more intelligent solutions. Keywords: Logistics, construction logistics, BEAst, Supply Chain Management, Just In Time, delivery systems Nyckelord: Logistik, Bygglogistik, BEAst, försörjningsprocessen, Just In Time, leveranssystem
