Question
Chapter 16, Problem 9DQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: Application of the Japanese word card in the study of JIT.
Introduction:
The Japanese word for card is termed as Kanban and has critical application in the “Just in Time” concept.
The JIT philosophy was developed to reduce the inventory holding costs at various levels of the production chain. The materials are supplied to the process area just when they are needed in a particular operation. Supplying the materials before they are actually needed, adds to inventory carrying costs. It also may result in more space being occupied, additional handling, spoilage, and obsolescence.
