Practices Are Considered Essential For A Comprehensive JIT Implementation

Firstly is quick setup time. It must have a shorter setup time. Its because every work become effective and efficiently. It can be done with better planning, process redesign and product redesign. We also must ensure no problem has happen for achieve short setup time.

Secondly is small lot sizes. Its produce in smaller lots and based on customer order. Like Just-In-Time (JIT), when customer order, a company will produce it. No warehouse are involved. It also can cut cost because a price of warehouse so high even its just for rent.

Thirdly is shorter lead times. That is delivery on time and no delay involved. Its reduced lead times by moving workstations closer together, applying group technology and cellular manufacturing concepts, reducing queue length and the last is improving the coordination and cooperation between downstream processes. A firm must arrange a scheduling and routing for a transportation. It also can reduce cost and make customer satisfaction with our services.

Fourthly is uniform production. It create a uniform load or each workstation through constant daily production and producing the same mix of products each day, using a repeating sequence. It use of a stable production schedule also permits the use of back flushing to manage inventory. Like a Toyota, it produce same product everyday until done a production.

Fifthly is preventive maintenance. It also machine and worker idle time to maintain equipment and prevent breakdowns. Its like a machine and maintenance are work together. So, a cost will reduce and damage of machine also can be reduced.

Sixth is multifaceted workforce, A workers will go for training and they must have a good technique and knowledge for use a machine. They also can do a proper task. A firm also must alert with a new technology for a firm's process can be more efficient and effectively. Employees more responsibility for their own work.

Seventeenth is supplier development. The company must have a good relationship with  supplier. It because it will be help when we need a raw materials or components parts in urgent. We also can get low price of raw materials or components parts when we already have a good relationship with them. We also can share any idea about a business.

Lastly is kanban production control. Its to convey parts between workstations in small quantities. But JIT is not same with kanban system. Kanban system not required to implement JIT. JIT just required to implement a kanban system and the concept are frequently equated with one another.

Types of Container

As you see at the highway, many types of container we see. You need to know that different container, different goods contents inside the container. Types of container are:

In some company practices "Just-In-Time" because they want to achieve some goal and achieve the customer satisfaction. Then, have many modes of transportation and services providers to provide a good services. Using of technology advanced and upgrade engineering capabilities for example use high system network to control the shipping and track the item of the good and for the other example is use the new latest technology and always to upgrade the system to be effective when loading and unloading the goods but it also able to follow the stream of more advanced technology such as the special of material handling services, and high security safety for shipping when in transit it is because to avoid the problem , damages or loss. Other than that the issues or challenges in maritime shipping is oil prices affects the activities of shipping. When the prices of oil is increase, the cost of delivery also increase.

The overcapacity can over come which buy the local vessels. In domestics regulation was, have many regulation governing business and of the act services they need to follow the law in another country. Expanding the ships repairing business. Upgrade the technology and skills to repair the ship, it is can strengthen financial and infrastructure in a country.

That's why shipping industry connect with many activities.

Road And Highways (Road Transportation)

This issues related with the service of transportation have on the road. The certain issues in town and environment, such as air pollution and noise that related with motorization that associated growth, will discuss in depth at the other places.
