Sie streben eine Verbesserung ihrer Unternehmensleistung an, die sich u.a. in umfassendem Qualitätsmanagement, Reduzierung des Arbeitszyklus und fertigungssynchroner Materialwirtschaft niederschlägt.

Hier lernen Sie, wie Sie den gesamten Abrechnungsprozess beschleunigen, Kosten senken und dabei gleichzeitig mögliche Fehler eindämmen können, die sich in diesen Prozess einschleichen. Mit zahlreichen Checklisten für eine sequentielle Prozessimplementierung. Jetzt erscheint dieser praktische Leitfaden in der 2. aktualisierten Auflage.

Book excerpt: Just-in-time production (JIT) is receiving widespread recognition among U.S. executives as the manufacturing system that helped make Japan our major competitor. With its proven capacity to streamline the manufacturing process, lower inventory, and improve product quality and ROI, JIT may be the basis for a renaissance in American manufacturing. This book details exactly what JIT is, how to implement it, and how to make it work in the context of American business and culture. In clear, practical terms, it discusses how to assess opportunities for change with JIT, how to develop and plan the necessary changes in production and management, and ways of motivating middle management and other employees in a JIT system. Relying on examples of companies that have implemented JIT--including cutting-edge firms such as Hewlett-Packard--The Just-in-Time Breakthrough clears up several misconceptions about the process while providing managers with models for putting it into action.

Download or read book Just in Time Logistics written by Kee-hung Lai and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The enduring repercussions of the Asian financial crisis in 1997, the worsening global economy following the burst of the dotcom bubbles in 2001, the financial tsunami in 2008, and the incessant rise in customer demand for better services have all contributed to shrinking profit margins for businesses around the world. To cope with these challenges, firms are discovering logistics as a competitive weapon when looking for ways to strengthen and preserve their market positions. One successful solution has been the adoption of Just-in-Time manufacturing systems, which involve many functional areas of a firm such as manufacturing, engineering, marketing, and purchasing, among others. Just-in-Time Logistics extends the JIT concept in manufacturing to business logistics, an area that has been observed to account for more than 30 per cent of sales revenue for some firms. It gives you an overview and an introduction of JIT logistics, and provides managerial insights on how to achieve improved logistics performance in terms of cost and service enhancements. A discussion of the quality, implementation, and performance measurement issues related to the application of JIT in business logistics is also presented.

The new Toyota production system considers how to adapt production schedules to the demand changes in the marketplace while satisfying the goals of low cost, high quality, and timely delivery.

Download or read book Total Quality Management and Just in Time Purchasing written by Hale Kaynak and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigates the relation of total quality management (TQM) and just-in-time purchasing (JITP) with respect to firms' performance, based on theories from operations management, organization theory, strategic management and marketing. U.S. companies have implemented TQM and JITP techniques to improve their global competitive position. The lack of empirical research on how these techniques effect firms performance makes it necessary to explain their strategic values as management innovations. In this study, a cross-sectional mail survey was used with the target population of firms in the continental United States that have implemented either technique, or both. The results indicate that the extent of TQM and JITP implementation positively correlates with a firm's performance. Furthermore, the relation between JITP and financial and market performance is more significant in those industries that face high as opposed to low foreign competition. In this study, the validity of findings was assessed in four parts: statistical conclusion, internal, construct, and external validity. Each validity type is defined and its threats are discussed. Based on the findings, a revised research model is offered. The author also notes likely avenues of future research for theorists and practitioners.

Download or read book The Utilization of Just In Time Principles in the Construction Industry written by Rafael Rivera and published by Strategic Book Publishing Rights Agency. This book was released on 2014-04-25 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just in time, or JIT, amounts to efficient and cost-effective material management in building construction. While employed as an estimator, Rafael Rivera was challenged with formulating material takeoffs having waste factors that appeared to be higher than industry norms. This resulted in his project bid being inherently higher and placed his firm at a competitive disadvantage, due to higher carrying costs compared to other contractor bids. He recalls, "On a bid strategy involving a small Mobile City Public Works concrete sidewalk project, I submitted a bid that was very competitive. Although we were not the bid winners, the bid margin between my bid and the winning bid was a meager $4. That is what we call in the construction industry, 'sharpening your pencils.' " His inspiration for publishing this book? "In looking back at some of my projects, I was challenged with storing materials in limited space. The most memorable project was the re-roofing of NASA's Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) at Kennedy Space Center in Cocoa Beach, Florida." Limited space was a major obstacle, as well as dealing with a multilevel structure where the volume was larger than the New Orleans Astrodome.
