Mahindra Jit Case Study

Mahindra & Mahindra wanted to implement a Just-in-Time approach at their main plant in Nasik to reduce inventory levels and make suppliers active participants in the production process. They provided a solution that involved modular containers to efficiently present parts to workers, identifying 25 JIT parts to be supplied in sequence from local vendors, and a two-tier shelving system to dynamically allocate and pick parts. This approach reduced replenishment lead times, improved manufacturing flexibility, and allowed all participants in the supply chain to quickly respond to changes while maintaining low inventory levels.

CASE STUDY ON JUST IN TIME APPLICATION BY MAHINDRA

&MAHINDRA
JIT - Mahindra & Mahindra
M&M wanted to implement JIT at their main plant in Nasik as they were aware of the fact that JIT approach
will help them to operate with minimal levels of inventory. Their business objective was to make all our
suppliers active participants" in the production process. They wanted that the suppliers should be "enabled"
to know of any change in the whole production process and at the same time contribute actively. This was
necessary to reduce the time-to-respond to a situation and help "just-in-time" approach in the production
process
Objective

Make all our suppliers active participants in the production process.

Suppliers should be able to know of any change in the whole production process and at the same
time contribute actively.

Update to best practices for supply strategies for 400 vendors, 150 vehicles per day and 1100 parts

Improvement of the replenishment efficiency

Reduction of stock at the assembly line favoring a flexible manufacturing


VSS Service

Concept planning for JIT and supply chain including definition of load units and their arrangement at
the assembly line, definition of the replenishment trigger concept, design of stores and handling equipment
and review of the method of supply from vendors

Implementation of the proposed concept


Solution

Modular standard metal containers and totes based on Indian truck dimensions. Load units
ergonomically presented to the workers

25 JIT parts identified (supplied in sequence), two-tier shelving system for totes with dynamic
allocation and picking, containerized supply from local vendors with round pick up

Reduced personnel and replenishment lead time; improved manufacturing flexibility


Benefits

By making our suppliers participant in the just-in-time" method of production, they could maintain
the least inventory level.

CASE STUDY ON JUST IN TIME APPLICATION BY MAHINDRA


&MAHINDRA

Suppliers could see real time the status of the supplies, bill settlement and host of other
parameters.

All active participants of a process, for instance, the process from a supplier to the dealer can
handle change management with the help of a particular solution and a defined process.

Set up times are significantly reduced in the warehouse. Cutting down the set up time to be more
productive allowed the company to improve their bottom line to look more efficient.

Having employee focused on specific areas of the system allowed them to process goods faster
instead of having them vulnerable to fatigue from doing too many jobs at once and simplifies the tasks at
hand.
Increase emphasis on the supplier relationships
