Job shop scheduling | The production planning and control techniques used to sequence and prioritize production quantities across operations in a job shop |
Just in time (JIT) | A philosophy of manufacturing based on planned elimination of all waste and on continuous improvement of productivity, It encompasses the successful execution of all manufacturing activities required to produce a final product, from design to delivery. |
What are the primary elements for JIT? | The primary elements are have inventory only when needed. Improve quality to zero defects; to reduce lead times by reducing setup times, queue lengths, and lot sizes. To incrementally revise the operations themselves;& to accomplish these activities@ min$ |
Kaizen | Improvement; continuing improvement involving everyone - managers and workers. In manufacturing, kaizen relates to finding and eliminating waste in machinery, labor, or production methods. |

Logistics | In an industrial context, the art and science of obtaining, producing, and distributing material and product in the proper place and in proper quantities. 2)in military sense, its meaning can also include the movement of personnel |
Lot | A quantity produced together and sharing the same production costs and specifications. |
Lot control | A set of procedures (e.g.assigning unique batch numbers and tracking each batch) used to maintain lot integrity from raw materials, from the suppliers through manufacturing to consumers |
Lot-for-lot | A lot-sizing technique that generates planned orders in qtys equal to the net requirements in each period |
Lot size | The amount of particular item that is ordered from the plant or a supplier or issued as a standard quantity to the production process |
Lot-size inventory | Inventory that results whenever quantity |
