Benefits of JIT

1) Reduced Setup Time: Cutting setup time allows the company to reduce or eliminate inventory for "changeover" time. 

2) Flow of Goods from Warehouse to Shelves Improves: Small or individual piece lot sizes reduce delay inventories, which simplifies inventory flow and its management. 

3) Employees with Multiple Skills are Used More Efficiently: Having employees trained to work on different parts of the process allows companies to move workers where they are needed.

4) Production Scheduling and Work Hour Consistency Synchronized with Demand: If there is no demand for a product at the time, it is not made. This saves the company money, either by not having to pay workers overtime or by having them focus on other work or participate in training. 

5) Increased Emphasis on Supplier Relationships: A company without inventory does not want a supply system problem that creates a part shortage. This makes supplier relationships extremely important. 

6) Supplies come in at Regular Intervals Throughout Production Day: Supply is synchronized with production demand and the optimal amount of inventory is on hand at any time. When parts move directly from the truck to the point of assembly, the need for storage facilities is reduced.

Prices can be negotiated in advance or determined by a tendering, so that the buyers do not have to negotiate each time they place an order. By aggregating the suppliers' catalogues on the buyer's server, it is also easier to centralise and control all procurement. Such an aggregation of catalogues is called an internal procurement marketplace .  Benefits of Internal Marketplaces   1) Corporate buyers can use search engines to look through internal aggre...

Infrastructure for EC

Introduction The e-commerce infrastructure is defined here as the supporting capabilities for online trading between multiple companies which include hardware, software, networks, online payment technologies, security and encryption technologies, online trading business models, legal and regulatory framework, and managerial and organisation capabilities.  Infrastructure is the shared human, informational , and technical resources on which the work system relies in order to operate, even though these resources exist and are managed outside of the work system.  To evaluate the interdisciplinary aspects of construction e-commerce infrastructure, one proposes using a four pillar approach. Figure 5.1 illustrates the skeleton for the proposed integrated construction e-commerce infrastructure. The proposed integrated e-business infrastructure can be broken down into the following four groups of components:  1) Technological Infrastructure : Technology infrastructure is a work...
