“…Various sets of dimensions have been proposed to characterise JIT, but no consistent proposal clearly emerged until 1992. Despite the volume of publications (Sohal et al 1988;Ramarapu et al 1995), wide empirical studies on the impact of JIT on performance were very limited (Forza and Di Nuzzo 1998). We have found one survey-based study in the UK and four in the USA (Kim and Lee 1989; Golhar et al 1990; Inman and Mehra 1990; Stamm and Golhar 1991).…”

Just in Time (JIT), as a wide philosophy to manage and control production activities, has dominated the way industry is run in the last decades. In the original paper the authors performed an early study on this subject, recognizing the disruptive potential of this approach and proposing a solid framework for its analysis. From the one hand, they distinguished the overall managerial approach and philosophy from the specific techniques used to implement it. While the general approach is long lasting and widely generalizable, the specific techniques might be more contingent. On the other side, they studied the impact of JIT on two set of performance dimensions, the operating conditions and the external performance of the production system. Through a wide empirical evidence of Italian companies in the metalworking industry, the authors were able to show the ability of JIT to shift the trade-off between productivity and service. The commentary underlines that, although results are today outdated, the framework proposed by the paper is still very useful to study the evolution of JIT and its impact on performance. Also, the paper is valuable for its balance between scientific rigour and practical relevance.

Abstract:Purpose: This paper describes the use of simulation and case-study research to assess flexibility gains induced by the adoption of three Lean Manufacturing practices.Design/methodology/approach: We gather useful material and information about the manufacturing process of a selected Small-Medium Enterprise by adopting a case-research approach. The Value Stream Mapping is the method used for visualizing flows of products and information along the production system. Starting from the current arrangement of the company, computer simulation is used to assess the benefits arising from Cellular Manufacturing, Just-in-Time Delivery by Suppliers, and Single Minute Exchange of Dies. Findings: To investigate the flexibility improvements coming from the introduction of LeanManufacturing, we present a simulation model of the described company on which we performed our analysis. We quantify the flexibility of different configurations according to the new 5-step approach in order to segregate the contribution of different lean techniques. Originality/value:We extend the combined use of Case Research and Computer Simulation to the research on Manufacturing Flexibility within Small-Medium Enterprises. We enhance the knowledge on this under investigated context collecting quantitative field data. Moreover, building on the factorial Design of Experiment, we introduce a new 5-step method to appraise the costbenefit ratio of lean techniques for flexibility. The managerial implication of this research is -919-Journal of Industrial Engineering and Management -https://doi.org/10.3926/jiem.2119 mostly related to the provision of a supporting method for the decision making process propaedeutic to Lean Manufacturing introduction.

“…A large body of descriptive literature has developed as a result (Ohno, 1978;Schonberger, 1982;Sohal et al, 1989). Also, there is a trend towards analytical and quantitative approaches (Jordan, 1988), and the use of simulation in modeling JIT systems (Huang et al, 1983;Ebrahimpour and Fathi, 1985;Gaines and Shaw, 1985;Schroer et al, 1985;Fellers, 1986).…”

Integration of neurocomputing and system simulation for modeling continuous improvement systems in manufacturing

The use of a neural network embedded in a larger general-purpose simulation system (GPSS) simulation used to model continuous improvement systems (CIS) policies in a factory setting is described. The neural network is used to accelerate the identification of an effective CIS policy by providing a more realistic simulation framework. The interface between general simulation theory and neural network simulation is examined. Neural networks, when embedded in larger general-purpose simulations, are found to offer the potential for improving on the capabilities of those simulations, in particular manufacturing simulations for continuous improvement of production processes.
