OPERATION MANAGEMENT2
Introduction
This study aims to discuss the techniques and concept of JIS, TPS and Lean and also
explains the integration of these three concepts. The trending concept of triple bottom line is
discussed in this study, which is used for enhancing the operation management of Nissan Motor
Company Ltd. This report explains the way in which Nissan integrates with the ISO 14000
standard in the manufacturing plant.
Theories and Techniques
Just in Time Method
Just-in-time operation management is the cost-cutting technique which results in stock-
outs. This referred to the produce of products in order to meet consumer demand precisely, in
time, price and quantity, whether the client is the actual buyer of the product or any other process
farther down the line of production (Garrahan & Stewart, 2017). Nissan benefited from this
technique of service, the approach meant that there will be no unnecessary product left in the
factory. If properly adapted JIT manufacturing has the potential to significantly improve.
Toyota Production System
TPS turns its focus mainly on employee empowerment of Nissan, which requires team
leaders to maximize efficiency by continually improving procedures and reducing excessive
waste in all services (Aoki & Mouer, 2015). Its main emphasis is on providing highest quality,
lowest cost, and shortest lead time by waste management. One downside of this program is the
high cost of applying the process and the complexity level.
