Originally referring to producing goods to meet the demands of the consumers, “Just-in-Time” (JIT) manufacturing is now producing with minimum waste. “Waste” does not only refer to the excess of the productions. It includes, but is not limited to time, transportation, processing, inventory level, and product defects.

Just-in-Time manufacturing focuses on continuous improvement and eliminating inadequate processes. To do that, every worker has to resolve the problems in the system immediately by identifying them. This will result in reduced flow time and costs.

Things to Prepare Before Applying Just-in-Time

Luckily, this manufacturing system is applicable to the food & beverages industry. However, transforming to this system is not an easy process. Manufacturers have to accurately forecast the demands of the product, use the suitable product and services, and agree upon the right time frame.

Moreover, forecasting allows manufacturers to have more control over cooking batches, ingredients stock, and serving lead time. Implementing this could help manufacturers decrease process duration, which leads to a significant decrement in total production costs.

Using products that can boost the performance of the products is a way to make the overall process handling easier. BASF’s Cegepal® products are perfect to help fulfill a large number of servings within a short timeframe.

The fast and easy solubility of Cegepal® helps you simplify the production of soups, desserts, and many other water-based products. Using Cegepal® allows business owners and manufacturers to provide food & beverages products with less than 1% trans-fat content and more nutritious value.

In the era where sustainability is the key to a better future, industries must focus on finding ways to apply conscious production systems. Find your solution here.
