ABSTRACT:
Waiting in lines are experienced in our daily schedule. Waiting lines or queues cause inconvenience to customers. Just-In-Time (JIT), the dignified process of waste reduction and has been a very popular operational strategy because of its success in the manufacturing and production industry over many years. Various benefits like, improved operational efficiency, waste reduction, and faster response have been widely observed by previous researchers. Services are much like manufacturing. Therefore, successful implementation of JIT is vital to manufacturing as well as service industries. JIT focuses on the process, not on product. Therefore it can be applied to every process within manufacturing or service industry. The main objective of this research is to make use of a case study to present various issues regarding implementation of JIT for a service industry. This case study also shows the benefits of reduction in waiting period by employing JIT. The conclusion of this research indicates that JIT system is successful and operating JIT system leads to many advantages to the case industry.
INTRODUTION:
Traditionally, manufacturing industries compete on price, variety and after sell service. Now, these conditions are merely fundamentals. Few service industries exist today without offering these requirements but the key competitive factor has become speed. Many industries have been trying to adopt few new business tactics in order to stay alive in the new competitive market, and there is no question that the elimination of waste is an upcoming and essential constituent for survival in today's world. The traditional inventory systems based on long production runs, stock based inventories and uninterrupted production needed to be replaced by more flexible systems in order to meet new competitive and economic challenges. Lean manufacturing or also known as lean production has been one of the most popular paradigms in waste elimination in the manufacturing and service industry.
