I was a manufacturing manager in the early 80's when "just in time" was the darling of all the top business schools. It was obvious to me than that all " just in time" manufacturing did was force the suppliers to hold the large manufactures inventory. It was never about efficiency of manufacturing but more about saving the cost of that inventory.
I worked as a consultant in retail and it was the same there. What went really wrong was outsourcing IT as the board was (a) captured by the consultancy (b) ignirant of how much value they got from internal IT which was far more central to the business than the donkeys realised. Following trends tends to be a way for consultancies to part compznies from a huge amount of money...twice as they are brought in to bring the service back in house
The problem I have with just in time is that you are increasing risk. The inventory is like an investment to reduce risk, it should be seen as necessary insurance.
Here in Germany we are not running out of anything. Whenever I go to the supermarket there isn't a single empty shelf. Perhaps the problems with "just in time" don't effect countries that haven't brexited.
I agree with the assumption. In Denmark there has not been any supply problems. I blive that UK has the same problem as other countries in Europe, but brexit massivly exacerbate the supply problems.
I think that retailers like running out of some items because it makes consumers want to "stock up" which means that consumers will carry at least part of the cost of storing excess inventory.
“Efficiency” is not the only benefit to manufacturers like Toyota, quality is also improved. If a component has been made incorrectly, and someone on the line notices, they can inform the person making the component and the issue is rectified almost immediately. In a “just in case” situation, that component could have been made months ago, meaning you have potentially months worth of defective components. Sure, if you are a retailer selling toilet paper, then Just in Time is really only for the cost benefit, but cost is not the only benefit in general.
Truth is without Brexit you probably would be having chicken AND toilet rolls, wouldn't that be wonderful? Us in the EU are still struggling to get micro-chips and construction products (such as timber) in time but we are appalled to see what the UK has been going through. In other words it's businesses that suffer more from the pandemic in the EU, we haven't had any shortages in grocery stores. High five brexiteers!
For the UK, Brexit is one of the main reasons for disruption.. you’ll need a lot of ‘just in case’ inventory… think alone of 10 miles of HGV lorries, standing for 24 hours. That is a lot of money frozen.
Toyota’s JIT system works because its suppliers’ factories are nearby, so could make multiple deliveries a day if required. JIT doesn’t work if lead times are three months.
Same here, rural and remote. We can be cut off because of weather, and are always the last to be restored. We have always kept a pantry, plus we grow veg and swap with friends for eggs, buy locally made cheese and bread. We dont mind paying £4 for a huge loaf of sourdough, which lasts most of a week and keeps a local business going.
Brexit! Brexit. What is it about Brexit you neither understand? Or acknowledge. The greatest self defeating act by any country. In our lifetime and your ignoring it!
The supply chain problem isn’t global as the author suggests but British (mainly). The EU block doesn’t have problems related to the supply chain, as much as in the UK.. Brexit?!
Ironically, Japan was one of the last (developed) countries to implement "just in time" practices in its shops and stores, etc. It wasn't until (7-11?) ,which was then still an American company (now, it's owned by the Japanese side, if I recall) introduced "POS" (point of sale), which basically is using barcode scanners to check stock and streamline inventory to a "just in time model", that Japanese shops came into line with other countries.
Lots of simplistic, or even simply false, information in this video. Toyota tends to be more resilient to supply chain shortages than many competitors because it can react faster to changes in demand, and has much better business intelligence for its supply chain.
That’s the thing, Toyota has reacted and amended to their plan. They had the foresight to plan ahead of “what if”. The overwhelming amount of companies and supply chains have no worked that in. Toyota thought of it, they probably also thought of “what if something goes wrong?” From what I’ve studied in economics in university days was “always have a back-up, have a contingency”
This sounds like a huge business opportunity. Get a large enough warehouse in a very impoverished city where you could store excess “just incase” inventory for multiple companies. Since you’re not selling products yourself, you don’t need to worry about being in an area with customers. You can be in a place where rent/purchasing a warehouse is relatively cheap, and you’d also be bringing jobs to that city so hopefully you could work out some kind of deal with the city where you’re eligible for tax breaks/cheaper power..etc
A bit of a simplistic explanation.. Jit is about reducing batch sizes to an ideal of 1.. The emphasis is about improving processes and eliminating setup costs with flexible manufacturing, work centers and staff training. The nhs would greatly benefit from this.. It still operates as a 1970's manufacturer.. Think of patients as raw material and you get the idea.. Lots of big waiting rooms across hospitals and all offering just one service... Why am I writing this.. No one cares 🤣
Oh they've done it to the NHS. When did you last use it (I mean hefore 2020)? In my part of the UK we have a local hospital & A&E 25 minutes from home that has been down graded to a minor injuries (after a £25m refit) and some OPD. All childrens health is now centralised at the next hospital which is another hours drive down to road. Radiation therapy for cancer is at another hospital another further hours drive, meaning seriously ill patients are being driven by volunteer drivers 2hours+ each way for daily 20 minute treatments. This is utter madness.
Haven't felt or seen a lack of anything personaly, from the EU, but yeah that's the problem with globalized supply chains in a more & more unstable world.
Thank you for explaining that. So that is why I have to wait 3 weeks for spare parts for my Toyota. I suppose for other products Brexit would add to the problem. Trucks waiting so long in queues, hours spent on paperwork and shortages of foreign workers to mention a few.
How about a few messing around with supply chains due to unnecessary political polices. That is why people need their own parallel society with supply chains.
Little secret here for you all when we say a product is in short supply it very rarely is we just say that so you very clever people buy it all and we make money 💰💰💰
Yeah, it's nonsense right? Then why are global supply chains failing? 3PL is a subset of JIT, and the consumer only got a part of the benefit. Workers didn't, as the natural development was to offshore labour costs too. Hence the rise of the working-class poor in service industry jobs on minimum wage, and the decline in the proportion of GDP spent on labour costs over the last 4 decades in Developed countries.

Makes little sense if they can't match demand they are leaving money on the table and opening the door to a more efficient competitor.

I grew up in the country side in the 90’s you’d always have a back up. I still do that.

It wasn't a toilet paper shortage it was a Braincell shortage.

There is no issues, I could literally go Lidls and get these items right now.
So the bottom line answer, as it is to every "why" question in business, is money and profit. Save a buck here, there, worry about problems later.

Wow interesting Why was it that Japan took longer?
Smart if used as an official method of inventory.
Completely incorrect. Toyota (Japan) was the architect of just in time.

If you listened they legit said they used to do it quite a few companies still do it it’s just to keep profits running
