Just-in-Time and lean systems

Toyota is redefining its production system to Tundra and doing away with the just-in-time system which mainly focuses on getting resources when they are only needed. They just get them when they want to use them. This is a method that is very important when coming up with a way of cutting costs. Vehicle production can be very expensive and there is need to come up with ways of cutting costs. In this article, one of the missing core beliefs of JIT is decrease in wastages. The article doe not in any way focus on how JIT contributes to minimization of wastes that could be there if the company was to use the traditional method. Among the elements of JIT, the article has not addressed how JIT will decrease wastage. The article has not addressed how getting resources when they are need will result into decrease in the amount of wastages made by Toyota as manufacturing company.

The second article focuses on the characteristics of the JIT system versus the traditional system. There are many ways in which the two systems are different and reasons as to why Toyota decided to replace the traditional system with the JIT system. The first difference between the two systems is that JIT focuses on getting resources when they are needed while the traditional system looks at the proximity of the company to the supplier. JIT reduces costs by eliminating the need for a warehouse while the traditional system eliminates costs by looking at the distance to be travelled in order to get the metals to be used. The JIT system focuses on the effect that the production has on the people while the traditional system does not have any focus on that. The JIT system was made to ensure that people also feel respected by the company by not coming up with cars that are so expansive that they cannot afford.
