Reflection and Recommendations of Just in Time (JIT) Manufacturing

        After reviewing above three research articles, one thing was evident in all of them that JIT system has the capability and capacity to improve manufacturing process along with organizational performance, regardless of their size. The articles looked at small and mediums sized organizations as well along with large ones like Toyota that how JIT system proved to be a great tool to enhance performance of manufacturing process. I liked the approach of two articles to review JIT system with regards to small and medium organizations. It is always important to cover all facets of an industry rather juts looking at large organizations. If an overall manufacturing industry has to perform well with good numbers, then all kind of firms have to be at their best by utilizing JIT system. These articles are providing great explanation for companies to consider using JIT system in their manufacturing process, if they are facing any issues, or even if they are not facing any considerable issues.

        The other great thing about these articles is their relevancy to the operations management. These articles were talking about JIT system implementation in manufacturing process, and manufacturing process is the one, which is directly part of the operations management. If a company wants to improve overall performance of its operations management and keep things on right track, then it is strongly recommended that those companies should adopt JIT approach in their operations management. It is recommended to get benefits from JIT system, which it can provide firms with regards to their manufacturing process. It is also recommended that firms, which do not have capacity to adopt JIT system, then they should work on this as quickly as possible, and adopt JIT system, as its implementation in manufacturing process will not only get them organizational gains, but considerable financial gains as well. It is recommended for further research articles to review that is there can cases where companies were failed to apply JIT, and what were the reasons behind those failures.

Conclusion of Just in Time (JIT) Manufacturing

        It can be concluded that JIT system is very crucial as well as beneficial one for the manufacturing processes of large, medium and small firms. If firms are having issues in their operations management, and their manufacturing process is not meeting their needs, then JIT system is a serious consideration for such firms, because it will not only eliminate wastes from their production process, but it will drastically improve their overall manufacturing process. The firms can look at research articles hand studies to review that how other firms benefited from JIT by implementing it successfully, and how they can integrate it in their operations management system.
