It is not so much that "Just In Time" gives you all these wonderful benefits, but if you implement JIT without dedication, functionality, management backing, strong focus, DFM/CE orientation, using rules and keeping track of quality you will GENERATE an awful lot of waste in machine and people time, sitting and waiting for usable parts to show up. In JIT you only should now be receiving the parts you now need, no spares, no parts for next week --- so if there is a problem with the parts you are down. Therefore everybody (hopefully) has a very good reason to do it right the first time. Have fun, Ahne. -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Earl Moon Sent: Wednesday, February 20, 2002 11:54 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [TN] Just In Time deliveries Just in time is Lean is pull is a dedicated, functional, management backed, focused, DFM/CE oriented, waste eliminated, rule based, quality system.
