(jit) principles and systematic layout planning as tools to improve ...

5.6 Summary
Finally, this project has helped the company to understand what is
actually happening to their manufacturing resources such as people,
machines, tool and materials. The recommendations made are based
on the actual data taken from beginning of May 1997 until the end of
August 1997 using JIT concepts and the successful implementations of
JIT in other industries. The JIT concept as suggested by many great
thinkers, practioners and 'gurus', has been proven to be a useful and
practical as pursued by Birkbys Plastics Limited. Even though all the
suggestions and recommendations may not be implemented by
Birkbys Plastics Limited immediately, they can be implemented in
stages with success provided all employees are committed to put in the
effort required.
