Improvements being achieved through JIT implementation:
• Only 8 weeks required to reach full production capacity
• Only 1,200 parts need to be assembled, the rest have been done by its suppliers
• All the outsource-viable production parts are outsourced
• Automatic delivery system and aerial tunnels are developed to minimise transport
• There is barely any stock required as most parts are made to order
• The whole manufacturing process including the suppliers are working as one system
• The need of conventional truck delivery is minimum
• 98 per cent automation
• Seats and battery placement are being done by automated high-precision machines
There is not enough detail to measure the benefit of JIT implementation against the pre-JIT system, however from rough analysis Ford will gain the benefit immediately and get the investment back in virtually no time.
