Traditional Inventory Management
• Based on Historical Forecasting Push System
• Batch Productions, longer runs
• Replenishment Systems
▫ Fixed Quantity (EOQ)
▫ Fixed Interval
• Receipt and Inspection

Problems With Traditional Inventory
• Uncertainty in Time of Demand & Supply
• Uncertainty in Quantity and Quality
• Always Overstocks or Stock out with Costs
• Wasteful Transportation & Multiple Handling
• Large Space and Overheads Requirements
• Lack of Visibility across the Chain
©
Problems With Traditional Inventory
• Lack of Flexibility in Product, Quantity and Time
• Inability to compete on Quality & Price
• Slow response to Rapid Product Changes
• Slow response to Customer Needs
• Little Collaboration between Production, Inventory, Vendors and Customers

Attributes of Lean Inventory Management
• Pull Demand: Providing inventory when requested by the customer – Pull demand signal
• Costs and waste reduction
• Flow standardization: continuous inventory flow –perfection in quality, Cycle Time, efficiency, Cost
• Responsiveness: Being able to adapt to change.
• Cultural change: Team Work, Customer Focus
• Cross-enterprise collaboration Teams

Kanban (signboard or billboard)
• A scheduling system for lean and just-in-time (JIT) production.
• Kanban is a system to control the logistical chain from a production point of view, and is not an inventory control system
• Taiichi Ohno, at Toyota - from Super Malls – customers pick when they need – Signboards
• A signal (pull) is sent to produce and deliver a new shipment when material is consumed.
• These signals are tracked through the replenishment cycle, bringing visibility to both the supplier and the buyer

Toyota's Six Kanban Rules
1. Later process picks up the number of items indicated by the kanban at the earlier process.
2. Earlier process produces items in the quantity and sequence indicated by the kanban.
3. No items are made or transported without a kanban.
4. Always attach a kanban to the goods.
5. Defective products are not sent on to the subsequent process. The result is 100% defect-free goods.
6. Reducing the number of kanban increases the sensitivity.

Kanban Example: Three-bin system
• Three bins + Kanban Cards - factory floor; store; supplier.
• Kanban card contains the product details and other relevant information. Just enough Cards available on coloured board system (heijunka box) - Inventory
• factory floor Bin empty – move to store
• store moves full bin to factory floor + kanban card.
• store moves empty bin to supplier.
• Supplier moves full bin to the store

JIT Concept
• PRODUCE AND DELIVER FINISHED GOODS JUST INTIME TO BE SOLD, FABRICATED PARTS JUST INTIME TO GO INTO SUB-ASSEMBLIES ANDPURCHASED PARTS JUST IN TIME TO BETRANSFORMED INTO FABRICATED PARTS.

JIT Concept
• THE PURPOSE OF JIT IS PRODUCTION OF THESMALLEST POSSIBLE QUANTITY AT THE LATESTPOSSIBLE TIME USING A MINIMUM OF RESOURCESAND ELIMINATION OF WASTE IN THEMANUFACTURING PROCESS.

Just-in-Time (JIT) is a philosophy
• planned elimination of all waste: "any activity that does not add value to the good or service in the eyes of the consumer."
• continuous improvement of productivity • have only the required inventory when needed; • to improve quality to zero defects; • to reduce lead times by reducing setup times,
queue lengths, and lot sizes; • to eliminate all forms of uncertainty• accomplish these activities at minimum cost.

JIT Stabilizes uniform load on all work
centres through
• Reduce or eliminate setup times (SMDE)
• Reduce lot sizes
• Preventive maintenance
• Flexible work force
• Reduce production costs.
• Reduce overcapacity
• Improvement of the ordering system.
• Reduce lead times
• Require supplier quality assurance and implement a zero defects quality program
• Small-lot (single unit) Transportation
• Reduce Inventory

Reducing 8 Wastes (or "muda,")
1. Overproduction – inflexible/ unreliable processes
2. Unnecessary/excess motion
3. Unnecessary transportation
4. Inappropriate process - Simplification
5. Waiting - inefficient layouts or mismatch demand and output levels.
6. Unnecessary inventory - uncertainty - quality levels, delivery lead times
7. Defects
8. Underutilization of Workers

JIT transportation
• Reduce the number of carriers
• Use longer-term contracts
• Establish electronic linkages & Tracking
• Implement a closed-loop system
• Efficiently handle material.
• Specialized vehicles - easy loading and unloading of smaller quantities
• Returnable plastic or steel containers
• Dock to Floor Deliveries
©
Just-in-Time Purchasing
• A commitment to zero defects by the buyer and seller
• Frequent shipment of small lot sizes
• Closer, even collaborative, buyer-seller relationships
• Stable production schedules sent to suppliers on a regular basis
• Extensive electronic commerce and sharing of information between supply chain members

JIT Suppliers
• Few, nearby suppliers
• Long-term contract agreements
• Steady supply rate
• Frequent deliveries in small lots
• Buying firm helps suppliers meet quality
• Suppliers use process control charts
• Buying firm schedules inbound freight
©
JIT conditions & Problems
• Favourable Conditions:
▫ Relatively large, Steady volumes
▫ Low Variety
▫ Reliable Vendors
▫ Short lead times
▫ Repetition of work tasks

• Difficulties:
▫ Delivery uncertainty
▫ Shorter product life cycles and Customization
▫ Dispersed supply base.
▫ Adversary buyer-seller relationships.
▫ Number of suppliers.
▫ Supplier quality performance

Quality: Vendor Systems Audit
• Objective▫ Defect should not get generated in the system▫ If by any chance they do get generated, they should not pass
down to the customer• Methodology
▫ Identifying vendors to be audited▫ Carrying out the Audits & deciding Countermeasures with time-
frames.▫ Verifying Countermeasures & monitor Quality performance.▫ Taking up with vendor for further improvement.
• Vendor identification▫ Component Class – A Category, Vital▫ Vendor ISO Certification Status & last Audit rating▫ Warranty & Quality ratings▫ Chronic problems with the vendor.

Tier 2 Vendor Upgradation (MUL)
• Chain only as strong as its weakest link.• Maruti Centre for Excellence established with
corpus from Maruti and suppliers• Maruti started involving tier 2 supplier into the
main stream activities to ensure▫ Better Quality Levels▫ Timely Delivery▫ Optimum Capacity planning▫ Cost Efficiency for the entire value chain
• The activity is guided and monitored by Maruti.

Vendor productivity Improvement
(MUL)• MPS Implementation procedure
▫ Training to vendor’s core team members at MUL.▫ Plant visit by Maruti team and pilot project selected.
▫ Pilot project completion along with Maruti team.▫ Target setting for the year and selection of further MPS projects
▫ Periodical review by Maruti
• Savings (Manhr/day) 7724• Savings (Rs Cr.) 5.86 a year
©
Value Analysis/ Cost Workshops
• Teams comprising members of supply chain, product engineering, quality, cost mgmt dept., supplier, supplier’s collaborator visit the supplier’s factory for 2-3 day cost workshop and brainstorm together.
• At the end of the session, cost reduction ideas are selected and action points frozen.
• These ideas are fed into the database and monitored by top management.

Vendor Finance Cost Reduction
• Joint scheme made involving Bank, Supplier and Buyer
• Pre-shipment working capital made available to suppliers (specially small suppliers) at better rates.
• Scheme gives banks high comfort without recourse to Buyer
• Reduced cost of funds for suppliers by 40 to 50%• Program helps in streamlining suppliers' cash flow• MUL: Total savings Rs 4 Crore, achieved across 31 suppliers, availing about Rs 120 Crore in Working Capital limit
©
Proximal Location of Vendors
• Encourages suppliers to set up their manufacturing / distribution centres in and around
• Savings due to reduction in transportation, transaction costs and tax benefits.
▫ MUL: Savings on account of taxes itself is 4.65% of component cost.
▫ Savings on freight and power are additional.
