TPM-Element: Just in Time

»Deliver the product in perfect quality to the defined costs and at the right date to the estimated place«.

Radical and area-wide cutback of stocks and over-production is a revolutionary approach against the human want of being »hunter-gatherer« and against the often predominantly operational point of view of a mass producer according to Taiichi Ohno (Toyota; Founder of the JIT priniciple.).

In consequence to that the whole company and every process is transfigured to the lean requirements of the market, with an optimum of an one piece batch-size. High performance for high requirements and low performance for low requirements. Total flexibility and total quality – designed for an one piece batch-size (for the extreme-case).

Within an practice oriented 7-stepped program we develope, together with our clients, a customized solution to apply the Just In Time strategy in the most optimal way.
