PART A
What is JIT (Just in Time)? What is the purpose of JIT implementation?
JIT is undertaken as the effective inventory system and the effective management
strategy that significantly align with the prominent raw materials in terms of suppliers directly
with effective production schedules. In regard of this, company prominently employ for the
inventory strategies in terms of increasing the efficiency and also tends to eliminate waste by
receiving products on the grounds of effective requirements for the production process that
eliminate inventory cost. Along with this, this method need effective process to forecast the
demand in an accurate manner (Schlosser and et. al., 2016). Moreover, the JIT inventory system
effectively contract with effective strategies for the producers that prominently hold effective
inventories for enough product to absorb effective market demand. In regard of this, the overall
objective of this methodology is to eliminate time for the effective production system and also
response suitable time from the suppliers and customers. It is also undertake as the prominent
type of lean methodology which is designed in terms of improving efficiency, eliminate cost and
reduce waste by receiving goods only when they are required. This concept prominently focus on
the effective identification and correcting suitable obstacles for the manufacturing and
production process as it depicts the hidden issue of inventory. In regard of this, the basic
objective of JIT is to improve the inventory turnover and eliminate holding for the connected
cost. Besides this, the prominent concept was developed in the Japanese firm while placing order
for the materials for the same day of the production of commodity.
Purpose: Service industries and organisations tends to opt JIT in terms of improving the
efficiency of an organisation and eliminate cost. For this, the suitable system need manufactures
in terms of purchasing at the time of customer orders to create the effective demand (Lai and
Cheng, 2016). Moreover, organisations also tends to develop effective relationship to make sure
effective parts in order to reach for the facility in time to produce products considering the
request of customers. Considering the service industry, it prominently has effective purpose to
execute JIT which is mentioned as: Eliminate inventory cost: With the help of JIT inventory system it tends to eliminate the
effective amount of material considering the production facility. For this, organisations
effectively eliminate the cost of store and maintain additional inventory by eliminating

risk of materials in terms of becoming obsolete for the effective storage. In regard of this,
prominent inventory quantities tends to tie up with the funds of company which is
beneficial for the other areas considering the research and development of new products.
 Lead time reduction: JIT prominently use pull system in terms of moving the materials
by the production cycle as considering the manufacturing business, materials does not
move to the another stage until the existing step is ready (Phogat and Gupta, 2019).
Besides this, it tends to eliminate the reposition of unfinished products within the
production process. For this, company eliminates effective production speed and also
process their engineers to identify the maximum quantity for the manufacturing process
while workers are waiting to move for the production more efficiently.

What are the benefits of implementing JIT concept? Is there solid evidence of JIT benefits in
research?
The JIT inventory management system is beneficial in terms of eliminating wastage by
improving efficiency and productivity and effectively contribute towards the smooth production
flow. In regard of this, shorter production cycle significantly eliminate financial cost considering
the inventory and labour cost. In regard of this, there are various benefits which is undertaken as
the effective benefit for executing JIT concept which are discussed as: Smooth production flow: It is undertaken as the effective benefit and key feature of the
JIT system undertaking the uniform production process considering the effective arrival
of materials from the suppliers to the prominent delivery of products to customers.
Moreover, this system has the effective objective in terms of preventing the fluctuating
production rates that results in delays of excess work in process inventory.

 Maintenance of equipment: This system is required as the strict adherence for the
routine maintenance schedules. As it prominently preventive for the maintenance of the
equipment that permit company in terms of neglecting the cost down time from the
breakdowns of machines.
 Reduction of storage: It depict the suitable purchase of products and services which
effectively need prominent development of stock for the future use. Along with this, it
also tends to relieve the requirement to make prominent space for holding products and
materials that result in the less time waste for the large amount of materials and products
(Hussein and Zayed, 2020). Besides this, the system effectively motivate suitable set up
of production machinery which need fast development of machinery that result in more
efficiency and elimination of cost.
In regard of this, the study investigate regarding the effective and holistic execution of
JIT which is essential for the significant products by focusing on the factory, eliminate set up
time, group technology, uniform workload and so on to undertake the quality control and circles.
Besides this, JIT is beneficial undertaking the prominent case study of service industry
undertaking the innovative approach to eliminate waiting time of Pilgrim at the Pandharpur
which is essential for the pilgrimage center. It is undertaken as the abode of Lord Vishnu in the
form of Vitthal and also tends to attract large number of visitors from the country despite from
religion, caste, social status and so on. In regard of this, JIT is beneficial to implement for the
concerning case study undertaking the objective of any pilgrim for having bath in the holy river
including Bhima and Darshan by touching the feet of Lord Vitthal. Moreover, performing things
and task at the given period of time tends to consider number of visitors to the town of temple
which is enhanced by many folds. Moreover, it depict the large number of traffic that generate
suitable stress on the grounds of social and physical infrastructure for the temple town. In regard
of this, this approach is beneficial as it enable the effective accomplishment of high quality of
products with effective resources within the manufacturing industry (García-Alcaraz and et. al.,
2019). Moreover, this approach relies on the lean manufacturing that improve and optimise the
manufacturing efficiency by eliminating lead time by waste elimination.

What is the main problem that authors were attempting to resolve at Darshan temple?
Darshan is undertaken as the prime objective considering the pilgrim visit for the
pandharpur undertaking the output for per day which is the combination of effective processing
rate and the darshan duration available. For this, the existing processing rate for around 40
pilgrims by translating to 2400 pilgrims an hour. Along with this, Darshan also kept open for the
14.5 hours that offer suitable processing capacity of 34,800 that notice the suitable outcome rate
for the constant arrival process. In regard of this, it also represent the number of arrivals per hour
by describing the actual waiting time undertaking the proportional to the number of pilgrims. In
regard of this, it depict the basic demerit for the existing system for the specific pilgrim by not
knowing that how long it will take them to reach among the deity (Aradhye and Kallurkar,
2020). Due to this, it depict the huge privilege and tolerance which is needed to undertake these
pilgrimages for the large level which is willing to undergo the excessive and unexplained level.
For this, it undertake the long waiting time of Darshan that varies around 1 to 5 hours in regular
days and also tends to increase up to 24 hours for the pilgrimage period that leads to generate
anxiety and various risk factor to reach in front of Lord Vitthal. Along with this, the first in first
out (FIFO), pilgrims also tends to arrive among the Lord considering the actual darshan time
which is about 1.5 to 2 seconds.
Besides this, the darshan time of pilgrim for the deity cannot be enhanced by considering
the number of queues that cannot be enhanced only one deity at present. It also suitably possible
in terms of applying the selected management or industrial engineering tools in order to
eliminate the waiting time of pilgrim and also tends to make waiting time more enjoyable. In
relation with this, long waiting time for any servicing station become the effective indicator for
the poor quality that need effective improvement. Besides this, each and every customer also
does not like to wait for the long time undertaking the waiting and service time in which
customer found more to leave the queue that results in customer satisfaction (Thomas, 2018). In
regard of this, the waiting time is also become enjoyable and put positive impact on the pilgrims

satisfaction as the time pilgrims tends to spend on the waiting that impact the satisfaction level.
For this, research demonstrate the effective satisfaction of customers which is impacted by just
waiting but also tens to depict the expectations for the attribution of causes for the waiting.

What were the benefits of implementing JIT (Queued registration) on waiting times at the
pilgrimage center?
JIT concept is developed as the effective manufacturing domain which is useful in terms
of managing and controlling the system and flow of materials in manufacturing industry. For
this, it is identified and analysed as the effective fit for the service industry. In regard of this,
service organisations tends to apply JIT techniques in order to eliminate non value added
activities as they will have more time to put emphasis on the value added activities that leads to
enhance the service to their customers and offer better operating environment for company
(Moore, 2017). Undertaking the software based program which is uploaded on the official site of
temple undertaking the slot that were offered day wise considering the frequency of two hours.
For this, the queuing system can be effectively modeled with stochastic arrival and deterministic
service time. Besides this, the darshan rate is 2400 pilgrims per hour which is the effective
system that prominently introduced for the first time and the pilgrims are from the rural areas
undertaking the availabilities that were opened within two hours. It also tends to depict the
prominent number of JIT booking per hour which is increased in future.
Along with this, the minimum average waiting time is 3 hours in the normal days that
goes on increasing for the 8 hours. It also tends to depict the clear and effective rush for darshan
in the pilgrimage period of JIT system which was partially used by the pilgrims (Widiyanti,
2019). Moreover, the pilgrims also chosen for the date and time as per the availability which is
registered by website. Besides this, the pilgrim booked their time for darshan and also tends to
produce the tickets at the Tukaram Bhavan before half and hour of Darshan. Therefore, waiting

time for the pilgrims also tends to utilise JIT facility which is maximum for 30 minutes. In regard
of this, after any sort of verification of photograph on the ticket and date and time for the
pilgrims were allowed to enter the queue of darshan. Hence, it also tends to undertake the
waiting period of pilgrims considering the darshan in physical queue which is recorded as the 8
hours for those who use Just in time facility. It also tends to indicate the waiting period of time
by eliminating just in time (Chatterji and Mehta, 2020). Besides this, the pilgrims also booked
their return tickets to the darshan as they were aware to the exact time of darshan.

PART B
Analyse Boeing strategy in the location selection and layout of the venue where the airplanes are
manufactured
By undertaking the Boeing strategy for the location and layout strategy is prominently
based on the centralisation. In regard of this, a single manufacturing facility is helpful in terms of
making their product finished and also effectively develop significant stages of production.
Undertaking the venue place of airplanes it is identified that the planes are developed in the same
building by considering the six planes and several stages of production (Ruifang and Rui, 2020).
Besides this, the building also prominently large for the suitable accommodation undertaking
various building that leads to cover over 98 acers for its four stories by making their market
effective and large buildings undertaking the volume of world.
In regard of this, Boeing also tends to sell airplanes to the airlines across the world and
for this, they does not set effective price for the planes as the actual prices are depends on the
effective features undertaking the wants of customers. Besides this, company also allow
completed and well working airplanes for the country to pass through. In respect of this, once the

deal has done and settled then it suitably submit towards the customer experience in terms of
sending the prominent design of department (Dumez and Jeunemaître, 2017). Considering the
production process designs also tends to completed and approved by the customers for the
production of plane and scheduling the parts as per the orders. In regard of this, the parts
prominently come up to the plant by airplane, rail and truck by delivering the major area of plane
which they tends to used for. For this, undertaking the effective part which is scheduled tends to
arrive and also used for immediate move towards the storage areas.

What is the type of inventory management does Boeing embrace? How does Boeing manage its
inventory? Why it is important to manage inventory?
In regard of this, Boeing significantly embrace for the lean on me and quality
management in their overall inventory system which is useful in making sure the prominent
quality of products and also leads to effective manage their overall inventory by offering suitable
components over it. In regard of this, Boeing also focus on the effective attention over the
integration of large components and system for the life cycle support and the role of suppliers in
terms of becoming more critical (Hickman and Silva, 2018). Besides this, integrated defense
system is undertaken as best practice for the enterprise wide supply chain tool which is also
undertaken as the consumption based ordering that allow Boeing to share their inventory levels
with suppliers.
Moreover, this system is prominently responsible to allow Boeing and its suppliers to set
inventory levels based on the consumption rates which is required to support the production
process and also tends to improve the ability of Boeing to forecast and enhance cash flow. In
relation with this, suppliers also find the prominent ability to plan their production rates quite
effectively and efficiently instead of waiting to receive prominent order for the reaction (Wang

and Pettit, 2016). Besides this, they can also be more accurate to forecast the needs of staffing by
prominently scheduling and maintenance to perform their own lean improvements.

Describe and critique the company’s strategy to overcome delays in manufacturing
In terms of overcoming delay in manufacturing and production company prominently of just
in time inventory management and production strategy as it is well documented and developed
for the success of business strategy that significantly depend on the precise coordination between
businesses and their suppliers to make sure prompt delivery (Radosavljević, Jevtić and Klimenta,
2016). Along with this prominent total quality management is also considered in terms of
delivering qualitative products and services to their potential customers. Besides this just in time
production strategy business organisation does not produce but items for sale until and unless it
is ordered by their potential customers which defect that inventory is low.
In regard of this the respective approaches are helpful in delivering suitable products and
commodities within the given period of time without any delay by considering prominent safety
and quality of products. In relation with this considering inventory-based production model is the
effective thing for the materials from the wholesalers and also produce them from the shipment
(Kang and et. al., 2016). In relation with this quality is quite expensive for the respective
company as there are various categories which are associated with cost and quality management.
Whoever considering this cost is the prominent step for designing the argument for investment.

What other strategies Boeing is planning to implement to cut cycle times?
There are various strategies that can be used by Boeing in terms of implementing to cut the
cycle Times which are mentioned as underneath:
 Cutting inventory cost: It depict that the cost of inventory under take carrying cost in
terms of storing and holding inventory over the significant period of time that calculate to
determine the amount of profitability and describe business stand in terms of gaining
various things (Ichinose and et. al., 2018). It is also useful to determine more and less
inventory considering the requirement to satisfy demand. Along with this, it depicts
various types of inventory cost including insurance labor cost transportation and handling
purchasing cost and so on which is already higher in terms of eliminating other cost.
 Eliminate the number of suppliers: In order to eliminate additional cost, it is important
for company to eliminate irrelevant suppliers which are not worthy for company (Anvari-
Moghaddam and et. al., 2016). Moreover, with the help of better developing links with
the other suppliers and Corporation it is opening for company to eliminate the number of
suppliers that helps in eliminating additional cost of Boeing.
