just-in-time production management & engineeringmangeshparde2
Just-in-time, or JIT, is an inventory management method in which goods are received from suppliers only as they are needed. The main objective of this method is to reduce inventory holding costs and increase inventory turnover.Just in time requires carefully planning the entire supply chain and usage of superior software in order to carry out the entire process till delivery, which increases efficiency and eliminates the scope for error as each process is monitored. Here are some of the important effects of a just-in-time inventory management system:A just-in-time strategy eliminates overproduction, which happens when the supply of an item in the market exceeds the demand and leads to an accumulation of unsalable inventories. These unsalable products turn into inventory dead stock, which increases waste and consumes inventory space. In a just-in-time system you order only what you need, so there’s no risk of accumulating unusable inventory.
Decreases warehouse holding cost
Warehousing is expensive, and excess inventory can double your holding costs. In a just-in-time system, the warehouse holding costs are kept to a minimum. Because you order only when your customer places an order, your item is already sold before it reaches you, so there is no need to store your items for long. Companies that follow the just-in-time inventory model will be able to reduce the number of items in their warehouses or eliminate warehouses altogether.
Gives the manufacturer more control
In a JIT model, the manufacturer has complete control over the manufacturing process, which works on a demand-pull basis. They can respond to customers’ needs by quickly increasing the production for an in-demand product and reducing the production for slow-moving items. This makes the JIT model flexible and able to cater to ever-changing market needs. For example, Toyota doesn’t purchase raw materials until an order is received. This has allowed the company to keep minimal inventory, thereby reducing its costs and enabling it to quickly adapt to changes in demand without having to worry existing inventory.
Local sourcing
Since just-in-time requires you to start manufacturing only when an order is placed, you need to source your raw materials locally as it will be delivered to your unit much earlier. Also, local sourcing reduces the transportation time and cost which is involved. This in turn provides the need for many complementary businesses to run in parallel thereby improving the employment rates in that particular demographic.
Smaller investments
In a JIT model, only essential stocks are obtained and therefore less working capital is needed for finance procurement. Therefore, because of the less amount of stock held in the inventory, the organization’s return on investment would be high. The Just-in-time models uses the “right first time” concept whose meaning is to carry out the activities right the first time when it’s done, thereby reducing inspection and rework costs.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

This PowerPoint presentation focuses on Just-in time manufacturing and its use and implementation in the manufacturing world.
These are topics that will be covered in the upcoming slides.
A continuation of the topics that will be covered in the upcoming slides.
Just-In-Time manufacturing was originally developed in the far east and so far they have been the most successful in implementing it into their production processes. Its much more than just another way to control inventory, it’s a way to eliminate it completely. During production parts and subassemblies are to be available on the shop floor exactly when they are needed. Any part of the production process that does not add value to the product should be eliminated.
Waste is defined as “any activity that increases cost but does not add value to the product. The end result should be a manufacturing process with no wasteful actions. The goal of JIT manufacturing is to identify the perfect process, making the process as simple and efficient as possible. Quality is one of the main
In order for JIT implementation to be successful a company must follow these guidelines and not try to implement JIT just for the sake of change. Most of the company’s that change to JIT manufacturing are doing it because of their competitors, mainly those in the far east, because they are producing far more rapidly and effectively. JIT changes almost every aspect of the company so it does not fall on the shoulders of a single segment of the firm but instead a firm-wide commitment is needed. The executives have to be the leaders involved in JIT, they must be the guiding light for the rest of the firm. Strategic planning runs deep in the commitment to JIT, the entire corporation must be involved in planning, from the executives all the way down to the production workers on the floor. Success In JIT needs to see a commitment to action in all facets of the corporation. Getting everyone involved and committed is the first step to successful implementation of JIT and the first step to an increase in continuous improvement.
Inventory reduction as a tool for improvements, means that if you reduce inventory many good things can happen along with it. Costs are reduced greatly if inventory is reduced, also a large inventory usually does not get rid of problems it just hides them. Supplier relationships is a big part of the JIT process, the main goal is to have suppliers deliver raw materials and components exactly when they are needed on the shop floor, skipping inspection and storage. This requires a great deal of trust between the supplier and the customer, this can be achieved through sole-sourcing, and long term contracts to promote loyalty. Inventory pull is the opposite of the traditional technique, inventory push. Inventory pull means that each manufacturing center pulls the the work from the previous site as space becomes available. This keeps the WIP low because there is no build up of work at any specific work station. The only WIP needed is the work on the floor being currently manufactured. Uniform plant loading refers to the fact that the plant should be making today what the customer ordered for delivery today. An aspect of JIT is to have a uniform, level schedule of production that can also be very flexible depending on the demand for the product. There should be level flow of work passing through each work station throughout the day.
Reduced setup times are achieved in JIT by keeping batch sizes as small as possible, the ideal batch size is said to be one. Companies spend a lot of time in setup time reduction, with the implementation of JIT setup time are usually reduced thirty or fifty percent. In a Just-In-Time manufacturing company the plant floors are laid out so that there is a minimal movement of goods during the production process, this reduces a great deal of waste. Product quality is extremely important in a JIT situation, all aspects of the product and the manufacturing process must be carefully scrutinized for optimum quality. Every member of the production process must be trained in production quality and should use techniques to assure quality. Techniques such as Statistical process control is a very good way to ensure quality during production. Preventive maintenance is needed to reduce variation in the process and also to keep a high level of quality. This requires a comprehensive examination of all machines on a regular basis.
Just-In-Time manufacturing has been one of the major reasons for Japanese success in business. If JIT is implemented correctly in your business it could be a total success. If JIT is implemented correctly it can be successful no matter what your business is, its goals provide all the ingredients for success. The goals for JIT are; Design for optimum quality, cost and ease of manufacturing, minimize resources needed to produce a product, responsiveness to the customer, develop trust relationships with the customer and supplier, and total commitment within the corporation to improve the total manufacturing system. These goals are lofty but they are the backbone to creating an extremely successful company. There are a few basic tactics that should be followed when using JIT. First you should have design acceptance based on production goals and on production performance, you should also begin to minimize the costs of labor materials and equipment in the production process. Then you should eliminate redundancy in production, remove all types of “gate inspections” and set goals for continuous improvements. After this you should begin to eliminate all unnecessary inventory, monitor customer satisfaction. Next is to secure your supplier base, also give the employees freedom on the production floor to do what they feel necessary to ensure a quality product, finally you must be able to deliver a quality product when and where it is needed.
When a company is using JIT as a manufacturing tool they secure a competitive edge on a few of the key elements in the manufacturing world. By integrating and optimizing a company can very quickly improve its financial status, this means that they should cut all unnecessary overhead costs and steps in the production process. Some of the unnecessary functions that should be eliminated are inspection, rework loops, and inventory. Improving continuously means that the company should develop goals and internal systems that advocate continuous improvement highly. This should be included in the design for new products, and also in the development of employee participation in all aspects of the company’s procedures. Finally the edge in understanding the customer and reducing the customers internal costs. If a company can realize the customer internal costs and do everything they can to reduce them they will definitely have the competitive edge.
With the implementation of Just-In-Time techniques inventory will become more controlled but it is hardly the major function. The “pull” system that JIT uses does not allow inventory to be in abundance, and materials cannot be ordered until needed. If JIT was implemented as an inventory control alone it could never be effective. The second major misconception about JIT is that a company pushes the suppliers inventory back into their shop thus, leaving the supplier with the heavy inventory load. A business with an effective JIT process should never have an abundance of inventory no matter where it is stored, whether the inventory is still at the suppliers or the customer has it is irrelevant, it is still costing to hold it. The final misconception is that JIT systems are only quality control programs, this is the biggest misconception because JIT is an operating philosophy not a program for a single facet of operation.
Design of a product is one of the most important phases of a products development because it integrates the quality and cost immediately. Designing a product with high manufacturability is an important step because it shows the efficiency at which a product can be manufactured. To minimize the resources that go into a product is just good business practices, however, it is a key to success in JIT systems. Capital, equipment , and labor are the key elements of a product and the reduction of these will minimize cost and time in the production process, but the important thing is that the product remains at a high level of quality. Being responsive to the customers needs is also very important in JIT systems because you must be able to understand how your customers internal systems and requirements. Being responsive to the customer can include; producing various sizes of lots, reducing manufacturing costs, reducing lead time, reducing the customers internal costs, working with the customers management on future products.
Trust and open relationships are very important in a JIT atmosphere because the customer and the supplier must set long-term goals and very precise shipment and delivery dates. When working in a JIT system it is not about yourself its about teamwork and helping each be as effective as possible. The last goal is to have a firm-wide commitment to continuous improvement. The management must encourage and support continuous improvement for JIT to be effective.
Materials cost savings is basically the reduction of costs incorporated with purchasing, receiving, inspection, and stockroom costs. Manufacturing cost savings identifies saving in the engineering, production, and the quality control activities. A major part of manufacturing cost savings I keeping a high level of quality, quality reduces cost and increases revenue. Sales cost saving comes in the form of reducing overlap between the supplier and the customer, which is inspection and testing. The most effective situation that the sales department can establish is finding customers that also use JIT systems.
These are a few of the main ways to reduce materials related costs in a JIT system.
There are many requirements for JIT systems that will be covered in the upcoming slides but the main requirements are organizational commitment to the company’s internal structures related to JIT techniques, and customer and supplier support systems. Firm-wide commitment and knowledgeable management run hand in hand because first you need knowledgeable management to have firm-wide commitment. The management must be able to teach the employees about JIT and support the effort completely. They must know everything about JIT so that they can inform everyone of what is going on at all times.
This is a list of the requirements that a company needs to utilize in order for Just-In-Time to be successful, all of these requirements need to be incorporated by the entire firm not just the management.
A continuation of the requirements needed for JIT implementation to be successful.
The Toyota production system has been called the “kanban system” and the “Toyota System”, but they are just other labels referring to the Just-In-Time system. Toyota has gone through an evolution of sorts, They have evolved into a comprehensive system that is a single unit with n o separate parts. The Toyota system first attracted attention in 1973 when Japan was going through an oil crisis and it companies had to manage to do well with less. They began to closely scrutinize the relentless pursuit of total elimination of waste that Toyota swore by. Many people criticized this method but they could have just been making excuses because it is a very difficult and time consuming process to implement such a serious change in an organization. The times are changing from “if we make it, we can sell it” to a time where society views quality and value as the most important aspects of a product. Toyota implemented JIT in a time where most people had never even heard of it, and they did it with near perfection.
A: The three themes surrounding JIT are Simplicity, Quality, and the elimination of waste. All three of these are extremely important because each one is needed for the the whole system to operate effectively.
Just-In-Time manufacturing systems are a great way for a company to become more successful than their current state, it gives a firm an absolute competitive advantage over others in the same market. However, it is a very complex system and there are many requirements and prerequisites that need to be followed in order for this system to be effective. It requires a firm-wide commitment that is not seen in any other type of system in production or manufacturing, it also closes the gap between the different departments in a firm and makes the entire firm work and communicate as one single unit. This is one of the main points that all of the theorists in quality management preached, and this system forces that upon a firm. The advantages of JIT are abundant and if implemented correctly it can only do great things.
