Just in Time Distribution

The JIT approach to manufacturing involves timing the delivery of resources so that they arrive just when needed. Inventory optimization models help the firm determine how many of which items in which sizes should be delivered to each specific store during twice-weekly shipments, ensuring that each store is stocked with just what it needs. Trucks serve destinations that can be reached

Lastly, the just-in-time (JIT) approach is an operating philosophy that requires that all resources, including materials, personnel, and facilities, be acquired and used only as needed (Mazumder, 2007). The JIT approach works great for manufacturing companies because of their common classes of material that they use which are raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods (Mazumber, 2007). According to JIT concept raw materials are received just in time to go into production, manufactured parts are completed just in time to be assembled into products, and products are completed just in time to be shipped to customers (Mazumber, 2007). The

Using ABC also allows the company to use the Just in Time (JIT) system. This system allows ensures materials are purchased just in time to produce the products, and products are completed just in time for delivery. JIT uses the demand-pull system to receive the order, schedule production, delivered materials, and finished product delivered to the customer. This lessens the amount of excess parts and inventory saving the company money as well.

The Ferrero’ Family was the first Italian manufacturer after World War II to open production sites and offices abroad in the confectionary sector, turning the Company into a truly international Group. These first and decisive steps forward were thanks to the products “invented” by Pietro Ferrero and his son Michele, who was then very young. Another key to success was the effective sales network organized by Giovanni, Pietro’s brother, who died in 1949.

Just-in-time: Just-in-time is an approach of continuous and forced problem solving through a focus on throughput and reduced inventory. Nissan takes advantage of JIT through reduced inventory levels and relying on a supply chain to deliver the parts needed to build its cars. The major benefit to JIT is that production runs remain short and the costs are reduced through less waste in warehouse storage space requirements. The company also saves money on raw materials

Barilla’s products are divided into Fresh products and Dry products. The demand for these two distinct kinds of products is quite different, and the order, shipment and delivery methods for them are also various.

Barilla’s Sales Representatives spent about 90% of their time working at the store level at the Distribucione Organizzata, whereas Grande Distribuzione was rarely visited. Sales Representatives also received incentives, which were based on achiving sales targets set for each “canvass” period. So their incentives depended highly on the quantity ordered by the distributor.

Absence of Maximum or Minimum order quantities: Barilla does not require its distributors to order any minimum quantities every time it places an order. This causes the distributors to order fewer quantities more often and increases variability and Barilla’s production costs. Also, there are no maximum order quantities during promotional periods, thereby allowing distributors to order large quantities at low prices and thus

Just-In-Time inventory (JIT) is part of a production system whereby a firm vastly reduces inventory from its production processes so that utilization of production inputs and delivery of finished products are accomplished without incurring significant holding costs. While JIT inventory systems are quite attractive for this reason, they are a double-edged sword. And though a JIT system might even be a necessity given the inventory demands of certain business types,

With the types of products Barilla is producing, there are a couple of limitations. First, their “fresh” products have a limited shelf life of 21 days, and their fresh bread has a shelf life of only one day.Second, the tunnel kiln is set to a specific temperature and humidity depending on the size and shape of the pasta. This process needs to be tightly
