JIT Manufacturing
March 31, 2021
What is JIT Manufacturing?
JIT Manufacturing, also known as Just-In-Time Manufacturing, is a methodology for reducing cost and increasing production speed, as well as flow from vendors. The time it takes to get your product to market and the cost associated with manufacturing can make or break a company. JIT aims to simplify processes, allowing for increased productivity and lowered costs.
Developed in post-World War II Japan, this type of lean manufacturing was the response to Japan’s economic climate. The large inventory production methods used in other countries were too expensive for them to finance. In response, they focused on smaller factories and smaller batches of products. This lowered financial risk, while maintaining sustainable levels of capital.
There are a few keys to JIT Manufacturing: organization; elimination of defects; small batch sizes; managing flow; streamlining product movement; and kanban. If done properly, you can see a radical change in productivity, risk, and operation costs.
RPP Containers
can help with a few of these tasks.
By having uniform containers for storage, you increase the ease of organization.
Collapsible bulk containers
stack efficiently and safely. When it comes time to retrieve your materials, there isn’t lost time trying to dig them out or keep a stack balanced. A forklift driver can pull up, select the containers, and get the product where it needs to be. This helps ensure a steady workflow.
RPPs' bulk bins'
have a high weight capacity and durability means you can accomplish what your competitors can with much less space. This means you have more area for your processes. Space is money. Not just when building, but also in maintaining. Reducing your operation's overall size is a major cost savings that will greatly benefit your company for years to come.
By establishing a closed-loop system with your vendors, you can greatly increase organization. Having uniform packaging makes organizing easy. This means that having your needed supplies arriving in
containers
that are compatible to your in-house packaging can be a huge benefit.
Reusable collapsible totes
are the perfect option for this kind of closed loop system. Their high nesting ratio means you are able to select the storage your supplies arrive in and can get that same packaging back to your suppliers for reduced cost.
Easy to understand labeling can also reduce time for accessing stored products or WIP.
RPP Containers
offers a variety of ID Tags and easy-release placards to help identify what each container holds. This will help to maintain your workflow and organize your plant in an efficient way.
