实用物流英语4-13

Absolutely reliable logistical performance is required and it eliminates, or at least reduces, the need for buffer stocks of materials.
JIT generally requires more frequent deliveries of smaller quantities of purchased inputs, which may require modification of inbound transportation.
Objectives
1. understand what Just-in-Time means and how it works in keeping
appropriate quantity of inventory.
2. find ways to improve your English skills and performance on how to describe and discuss about Just-in-Time.
Q: 3）What is the key to JIT
operations?
The key to JIT operations is that demand for components and materials depends on the finalized production schedule. Requirements can be determined by focusing on the finished product being manufactured. Once the production schedule is established, just-in-time arrival of components and materials can be planned to coincide with those requirements, resulting in reduced handling and minimal inventories.

1. Since keeping inventory will give rise to cost, is it possible to keep zero stock? If yes, in what circumstances is it possible?
Activity 1 —Task 1
Q: 4）What are the other premises of JIT?
Whenever a make-to-order (MTO) or assemble-toorder (ATO) strategy is possible.
It is necessary to deal with suppliers who have high and consistent levels of quality, as their components will go directly into the finished product.
Yes. Whenever a make-to-order (MTO) or assembleto-order (ATO) strategy is possible, we may keep zero stock. The way we use to keep no stock is called Justin-time, which is just we are going to study in this project.

Q: 2）What is the goal of JIT?
time-phase activities so that purchased materials and components arrive at the manufacturing or assembly point just at the time they are required for the transformation process
Previously, we have learned the risks of holding inventory. Therefore, it is our goal to reduce inventory as much as possible. ABC inventory control system is a good means to keep an appropriate amount of stock. But today we are going to learn another successful way to reduce inventory and related carrying costs – Just-in-Time.
