The management model of JIT (Just In Time) production systems can effectively utilize all resources within supply chain, through production planning and control, as well as inventory management to reduce the costs of production management. While enterprise applies JIT management, the inventory will be reduced to the minimum, or even 'zero' level. Thus, the final goal of JIT management is to pursue a non-stock mode of production, namely 'Zero inventory management', in which the JIT Purchasing is required. Its methods and criteria are when a buyer needs raw materials or semi-finished production, the seller sends to the designated production line in correct quantity, in the shortest possible time as buyer requires. Sellers do not need to produce excessive products, nor the buyer have to purchase the excess raw materials for storage, all the stocks will be worked on the production line, so the inventory can be reduced to a minimum, nearly to achieve 'Zero inventory'. To implement JIT purchasing can reduce all possible waste of resources in the production process between buyer and seller that have a significant effect for improving the economic efficiency of enterprises. This study was based on a JIT Purchasing system, which considers individual products with a single buyer and a single seller. Under conditions of the 'Zero inventory' limited circumstances, the buyer and the seller closely cooperate in accordance with long-term purchase contracts, that agrees to frequently transport the high-quality and low-quantity products by small lot size from seller to buyer. Further through integrated inventory model, seeking for the best production quantity of the seller and the best purchasing quantity of the buyer under different transportation ways are carried out. In this study, the algorism was built for each model and the analyses were carried out by numerical examples. |
