Abstract:
Just in time represents a series of administrative quantitative and
qualitative techniques, as well as an important solution of strategic and
operational management. This concept can also represent a philosophy,
because the management focuses its efforts on the simplification of the
activity and the elimination of the losses, where it is possible in the company.
The concept just in time is based on the following principles:the whole
ensemble of activities which does not give value to a certain product or
service will be eliminated; the achievement and the mentioning of some
raised quality levels in all the stages of the company’s activities; the
improvement of the activities’ performance and the maximum employment of
the information for the management.
The JIT objective is to produce, not only relying on the anticipations,
but also depending on the real market demand. Any exception to this rule
can’t entail but waste, the emergence of the stocks and unsatisfied demands.
The production on order only involves as well the interdiction of producing
without order. In the JIT operation environment, two main rules must be
respected:the first involves the elimination of what is not represented by the
rise of the added value of the products;the second rule: we must not believe
that the cost reduction can be achieved relying only on reckonings. Actually,
the progress, the processes quality is obtained even on the field, in the
confrontation with the production reality and in cooperation with those who
permanently live it.
