JIT method examples can be found in several industries, but especially for those who utilize a production line. Below are some most successful examples where JIT has been used.<\/p>\n

Toyota<\/h3>\n

Toyota is one of the most well-known examples of JIT manufacturing as it was Toyota who first adopted this strategy. At Toyota the raw materials are not moved to a workstation until the order is made by the customer and the product is confirmed to be built. This way, inventory amounts are kept to a minimum which as a result lower the costs.<\/p>\n

Additionally, then this system ensures Toyota can adapt quickly to their customers\u2019 needs without maintaining more than required inventory which lowers its waste. Some other factors contributing to Toyota\u2019s profits are the smaller amount of raw materials required to be stored at different locations, ensuring that there is always just enough material to begin production, and once the product has been made then parts or materials are replenished.<\/p>\n

Dell<\/h3>\n

Dell is another great one of the just in time manufacturing examples that has successfully demonstrated effectiveness of the JIT process.<\/p>\n

They achieve this by having dialogue with suppliers who maintain some level of inventory instead of themselves. This way, parts can be ordered with shorter lead times, making it easier for Dell to assemble and dispatch to customers. Their process is seen successful because of their reliable suppliers and the short lead times.<\/p>\n

Harley Davison<\/h3>\n

In case of this company, then there was a significant change after World War II. Following on from there and experiencing less efficient processes, they shifted to JIT manufacturing.<\/p>\n

By Implementation of the JIT process at Harley Davison, the inventory level was reduced to 75% and at the same time production level increased. This way they were able to solve the inefficiencies in the process related to high amount of expensive inventory.<\/p>\n

McDonald\u2019s<\/h3>\n

Fast food stores like McDonald\u2019s often have everything they require to assemble and do not cook further until the next order is received. This method makes the process highly standardized and as a result the customers are experiencing the same level of service every time.<\/p>\n<\/div>
