Definition of Just in Time Production System in Precision Parts Processing

The traditional production management system in precision parts processing generally involves supplying components from the previous process to the next, and adopting the method of increasing work in progress reserves to cope with issues such as production imbalances and accidents, as well as changes in demand. The disadvantage of this method is that regardless of whether the components required for the next process are used up in the previous process, the components are sent to the next process after production, which can easily lead to a backlog of products in the next process. In order to overcome the above shortcomings, just in time production system has emerged.

The key point of JIT production in precision parts processing is to produce the necessary products (parts, components, finished products) in the necessary quantities only when necessary. Its goal is to compress the inventory of work in progress to the minimum, thereby maximizing capital savings, utilizing manpower and equipment to the fullest, improving efficiency, and reducing costs. At the same time, the system is flexible. In terms of human factors, production workers are required to have high enthusiasm and exert greater initiative.
