Analysis of Jit Elements: a Case Study

Just in Time (JIT) is a system designed to make an organization operate efficiently and with a minimum number of human and mechanical resources. JIT also improves quality, reduces inventory levels, and provides motivation to solve problems as soon as they occur. JIT can be defined as a system designed to eliminate waste in an organization. Waste is anything that does not add to the value of the product or service. JIT introduces no advanced technology or complicated principles, but instead, strives to eliminate the unnecessary burdens of complexity. Making the complex system simple not only in manufacturing but in other departments of an organization is the main goal of JIT. JIT means doing the job right at the first time and permanently solving problems as soon as they appear. It also means efficient use of resources and fixing deficiencies in the system. The central theme is that no matter what is being done in business, it can be done better by adopting strategies of JIT. In this dissertation, a survey of 25 technical institutions followed by a case study has been carried out. The purpose of this work is to study the feasibility of JIT in technical institutions. JIT is a philosophy which carries wide range of techniques which eliminates in Indian context has been identified.
