Purpose
The purpose of this seminar is to familiarize all levels of management and supervision with the tools, techniques, and methods associated with Just-In-Time (JIT) processing. Explanations are provided on how JIT processing contributes to profit and productivity. Each JIT tool, method, and technique is described in detail to assist the participant in how they would be used in their applications.
The philosophical and financial motivations and benefits resulting from the implementation of JIT processing are explained in detail. Specific planning on how the organization would go about undertaking a JIT processing implementation can be accomplished by combining this overview with the three day JIT seminar.
