Features:
1, pursuing zero inventory
One of the main means to maximize profits of enterprises is to reduce costs. Inventory is a hidden cost, and reducing or even eliminating inventory is an effective way to reduce costs. With the advent of the post-industrial era, the mainstream mode of production began to appear in small batches, and production according to the requirements of the market and customers is the best way to eliminate inventory.
Therefore, JIT production mode tries to increase enterprise profits through "zero inventory", in other words, JIT thinks that only when necessary, the necessary products are produced in necessary quantities, thus avoiding the waste of resources caused by inventory and maximizing enterprise profits.
2. Emphasize continuous strengthening and deepening.
JIT emphasizes continuous strengthening and deepening on the existing basis, and constantly carries out quality improvement work to gradually realize the goal of zero defective products, zero inventory and zero waste. Although it is impossible to achieve absolute zero inventory and zero waste, JIT is gradually approaching this goal in this continuous improvement.
This idea contains two meanings: first, the goal is endless, and enterprises should not be satisfied with their current achievements, but should keep making progress; Second, the realization of JIT mode cannot be achieved overnight. Step by step, you can't expect to become fat in one bite.
Background of extended data generation:
1950, Japanese Toyota Hideyoshi visited the automobile factory of Detroit Ford Company in the United States with the idea of learning from the advanced experience of the United States. At that time, this factory could produce 7000 cars a day, which was more than the annual output of Toyota in Japan.
Toyota Hideki is thinking: How to build the Japanese automobile industry? It is obviously impossible to copy the American mass production model.
First, Japan's post-war economic depression, lack of funds and foreign exchange, can not fully introduce complete sets of equipment from the United States to produce cars.
Second, Japan's economic and technological foundation after the war was far from that of the United States, and its output at that time was only a few tenths of that of the United States.
Third, Japan's social and cultural background is very different from that of the United States, so it is definitely not possible to completely copy the American model. Obviously, according to Japan's national conditions, we should give full play to the Japanese family concept and team spirit and explore a road different from Ford's assembly line production mode.
