Summary: | The implementation of Just-in-Time (JIT)
techniques is an important issue for management.
The wide range of activities making up JIT has
posed real problems for its implementation. This
fact motivated the development of a PC-based
software package which simulates JIT
manufacturing. The package serves as an
important educational training aid which may be
used to illustrate various JIT principles, and as
a valuable pedagogic tool for management. The
simulation (or game) is interactive so that the user
may make a sequence of decisions and then view
the effect of these on a simulated production line.
Extensive use is made of the colour graphics
facilities of the PC for visual displays. The
software is based on an existing manual version
of the game. |
