With the just-in-time system, we link our own
production to the vehicle assembly lines of our customers, allowing us to assemble
and deliver products in the sequence required. A high level of know-how is required
on our part to match our production sequences with the variable assembly schedules
of our customers.
With this system, we are able to considerably shorten lead times and reduce the
amount of space required for inventory storage.
|
 |
By manufacturing and assembling similar models
in the same block, we raise productivity, improve management control and increase
efficiency throughout the entire process.
|
 |
Multi-stream production enables the manufacture
of a variety of low-volume products on a single line, but a single small error
can bring production to a halt.
Starting with our product selection system, at Aisin AI, we use special techniques
from many fields to smoothly accommodate increases in product variety, thereby
achieving the most efficient possible use of space, facilities and personnel.
