Che cosa è Just-in-Time? Definizione
Il just-in-time è stato inventato da Taiichi Ohno in Giappone negli impianti di assemblaggio di automobili Toyota agli inizi degli anni 70. È una filosofia per le organizzazione di produzione. Il JIT diminuisce lo spreco fornendo le parti soltanto quando il processo di assemblaggio le richiede. Nel cuore del JIT si trova il kanban, la parola giapponese per scheda. Questa scheda kanban è trasmessa al magazzino per chiedere una quantità standard di parti man mano che sono stati usate nel processo di assemblaggio/produzione. Il JIT richiede precisione, poichè le giuste parti devono arrivare “just-in-time„ alla giusta posizione (posto di lavoro della catena di montaggio). È usato soprattutto per grandi processi di produzione ripetitivi.
Storia del Just-in-Time
Storicamente, la filosofia del JIT è scaturita da altre due cose:
- Il desiderio del Giappone di migliorare la propria qualità di produzione. A quel tempo, le aziende giapponesi avevano una cattiva reputazione per quanto riguarda la qualità della produzione, in particolare nel settore delle automobili.
- Kaizen, un metodo giapponese di miglioramento continuo.
Il Just-in-time considera i magazzini come una scarsa giustificazione della cattiva progettazione, dell'inflessibilità, dei macchinari sbagliati, dei problemi di qualità, ecc. Il target del JIT è accelerare la risposta del cliente minimizzando allo stesso tempo l'inventario. Gli Inventari contribuiscono a rispondere rapidamente ai cambiamenti di domanda del cliente, ma inevitabilmente costano soldi e aumentano il capitale circolante necessario.
Nel 1990 James Womack ha scritto un libro chiamato “La Macchina Che Ha Cambiato Il Mondo„, introducendo la terminologia “Lean Manufacturing [Manifuttura Snella]„. E possibile anche incontrare la parola: “Produzione Snella„. I principii dietro questi metodi non differiscono sostanzialmente dalle tecniche sviluppate da Ohno alla Toyota.
Aree di attenzione del Just-in-Time
Le aree tipiche di attenzione delle implementazioni di JIT includono:
- Riduzione dell'Inventario.
- Lotti di produzione più piccoli.
- Controllo di qualità.
- Riduzione della complessità e trasparenza.
- Struttura organizzativa orizzontale e delegazione.
- Minimizzazione degli sprechi.
Just-in-Time esteso esterno
Con l'arrivo di Internet e dei software di Progettazione della Supply Chain, le aziende hanno esteso la produzione Just-in-time fino al di fuori delle frontiere aziendali. Richiedendo ai loro fornitori di portare il magazzino in fabbrica soltanto quando è neccessario per l'assemblaggio, rendendo la produzione JIT, l'ordine ed i processi di consegna ancora più veloci, più flessibili e più efficienti. In questo modo si sono formate le Reti Integrate di Fornitura [Integrated Supply Networks] (Reti di Domanda) o le Supply Chain Elettroniche.
