How do mrp and jit differ
There are many benefits associated with Just-In-Time production, but the main goal of this method is to increase the efficiency of production while decreasing waste to ultimately lower the production costs and increase profits. On the flip side, implementing JIT methodology requires producers to be able to accurately forecast their demand to avoid running into material shortages. Balancing the two goals of avoiding material shortages and reducing inventory costs is key to JIT processing.
Just-In-Time manufacturing strategies heavily rely on stable and reliable suppliers since they become a sort of remote storage facility for raw materials. Keeping inventory lean means a greater risk to production flow. If an unexpected event, such as a storm, arises and raw materials cannot be delivered to the manufacturing plant in a timely fashion, Just-In-Time methods may not be able to respond quickly enough.
Unexpected increases in demand can also present challenges if you do not have enough raw materials to supply the increase in demand. However, MRP is a helpful tool in inventory control and proactively address potential stock and materials shortages.
Both JIT and MRP attempt to limit waste and downtime during the production process to minimize waste and maximize your output. MRP is more agile when unexpected orders are received or when schedule adjustments are needed.
This type of system does depend on accurate data entry, material tracking, and analysis. When utilized properly, the advantages of JIT and MRP include reduced production costs, improved capacity allocation, and a better response to rapidly changing market demand.
The philosophy of JIT, on the other hand, is based on the riddance of waste. This analysis can be greatly misleading. Generally, in MRP, there are two basic information types that are required: Structural and tactical. Structural information includes the information about the components used by the company, and the relationship between the different items. Things such as the lead time and batch size rule are included in structural information.
The essential point about this information, is that it does infrequently vary. Tactical information includes such things as the current state of the operation, for instance, pending sales orders, master production schedules, inventory levels, and purchase orders. The system also plans purchasing and manufacturing activities and delivery schedules. It also reschedules materials on order If production demand fluctuates. The MRP system also manages production scheduling, cash flow, labor capacity planning, inventory and distribution.
The focus of the materials requirements planning system is the projected usage of parts or materials during a predetermined time period based on end-item requirements. MRP systems are suitable for discrete manufacturing environments in which production lines operate on a batch basis and produce output that is countable in discrete units or identifiable with serial numbers.
The focal point of the just-in-time system is the current or real usage of parts in a production system, which makes it appropriate for a repetitive manufacturing environment in which each of a series of products passes through the same machinery and the same sequence of operations in a continuous flow over an extended period of time. Just-in-time manufacturing focuses a company's manufacturing lines on the products its customers want, which contributes to a company's long-term viability.
In addition, because materials are made available as needed, inventory shrinkage and redundant functions, including inspections, are reduced. As a result, poor predictions can result in overstock, leading to increased obsolescence and profit losses. While both JIT and MRP have their advantages and disadvantages, many companies experience the best outcome when using both solutions in tandem, allowing your parts department to enjoy the best of both worlds by balancing the risks of overages and shortages.
