U.S. Stroller - JIT vs. MRP
I listed 13 elements that are needed to support JIT flow. Judy Hawkins has recommended that Clem switch to a JIT flow in manufacturing. Considering the 13 elements, what problems exist in the conversion to JIT?
Other than manufacturing process layout and design, what other issues need to be considered to successfully implement JIT?
Which of the following three options would you recommend and why?
Option 1: A Pull System
Option 2: Manufacturing Cells
Option 3: Improve the existing MRP System
