The Role of the JIT System in Enhancing Competitiveness

Аннотация

This research aims to examine the role of the Just-In-Time (JIT) production system in enhancing the competitiveness of industrial and service enterprises. The JIT system relies on reducing waste in production processes, improving product quality, and increasing operational efficiency, enabling companies to achieve a sustainable competitive advantage. The research examines the concept of JIT, its main principles, and the requirements for its success. It also analyzes the relationship between implementing this system and achieving competitiveness through improved productivity, reduced costs, and rapid response to market needs. The research also reviews some practical experiences of implementing JIT in successful global companies such as Toyota and identifies the challenges that organizations may face when adopting this system. The research concludes that effective implementation of JIT requires strong administrative support, the development of a flexible supply chain, and the use of modern technologies in production and management. The research also provides recommendations for organizations seeking to enhance their competitiveness by adopting this system.

Introduction: Varied criticisms of Just-in-Time (JIT) Delivery in JIT mode must arrive exactly on the effectiveness have been raised. For example, there expected delivery date (EDD) of every order. Early have been reports of poor delivery performance, deliveries are not allowed before a predetermined inventory control and complications arising from a lack earliest delivery date (EDD) that corresponds to the of supplies for needed components. (Van Wyk & ready time of the time window. An order is considered Naidoo, 2016) have assessed the effectiveness of JIT late if it is delivered after the due date. Customers will implementation at a South African company, using a be penalised for all late orders. Therefore, JIT suppliers methodology that was specifically developed for this are encouraged to adjust ore and/or transportation purpose. An improvement in several performance capacity resulting in just-in-time delivery service. measures, such as, T3, T4 and T6, subsequent to JIT Supply delivery just in time is one of the key values of adoption is reported. Perishable goods have to be the JIT system. A main tenet of the JIT system is timely delivered in a pre-determined time window or else the delivery to meet customer demand. Delivery shipment is considered late. Due dates are determined performance is considered one of the more influential based on several factors, such as, delivery location. factors of the competitive strength of JIT in the There are two different types of just-in-time (JIT) production environment. An ordered product is delivery for the supplier: regular delivery mode and the considered late if one or more items is delivered past JIT mode. In the regular delivery mode, the entire the due date. If this happens, the producer could lose delivery of goods must begin and conclude within a the client who made the order. An order is known as a specified time period. This time period is usually a few batch which is the set of goods ready for delivery to the days.

A theoretical mechanisms, its benefits, and the challenges facing its framework is provided that adapts the classical implementation.
