Your final paper is based on JIT (Just-in-Time). I am expecting this paper to be at least five pages in length and the line spacing should be double (or 2).
Here are the follow questions I would like you to answer in the formally written paper:
1. What is the difference between a push and pull production system? (2 paragraphs)
2. What is JIT? (2 paragraphs)
3. Is JIT a push or a pull production control technique? (Explain in 2 paragraphs)
4. Design/draw a value chain map of a company you have researched that uses JIT? (Please define all the symbols necessary for building a Value Stream Map. Explain your map in 2 - 4 paragraphs in length or one page)
The paper you write should contain the following:
- Abstract - summary of the entire paper
- Introduction - an explanation of what this paper will be about
- Review of Literature - information from five sources on what JIT and push and pull systems are. (No direct quotes will be accepted from any source)
- You must have at least five sources
- Two sources must come from a journal or conference article
- A company that has implemented JIT- find a company that uses JIT production scheduling and describe how it has worked out for them (See question 4 above)
- Conclusion - an explanation of why you think JIT is a push or a pull or both type production control system.
