我的我
嗯 Hello
English leaders woke come back
Engenglish pod
My name is marco
And i'm america
And bring you a very advanced lesson
Today that's right um we're talking about another business topic
And we it's a topic
This kind of popular these days all about efficiency and reducing costs
But we're going to be talking about the just in time philosophy
Um i don't know much about this philosophy um so good think we got marcocoy y well
What we're going to be looking at is not really in depth
We're just going
Going be be at some basic ic points of what just in time philosophy would be like in a company
But what we're really going to be looking at is the language to do with phphosophy exactly we're going to be looking at
Some tetenoloopterm so and some other useful phrases that you can use win we 're talking in a business setting okay
Well
What don't we get started with the language then okay
Let's take a look at vocabulary preview
Vocabulary preview time
Vocabulary preview today that we have the word
Lead time that we can in ing coi'm what vocad lead
Lead time right like lead this is something that factories usually would use
Yeah Yeah
I guess lead time is the time in between point a and point b on a production schedule
Right right so you could have for example production lead time so that's the time between our you weeleast time so we we going to be is finshshexexactly
And you could have delilivery ing time so so we
We between when you place in order
And when uh the product gets deliver to you so depending on the companies
You have different lead time
Some or three days
Other there are five days
There are forty five days
And we the english pod have uh two weeak lebut our brodcast right
But are delivery lead time is every other day that's true nice okay
That's all we're going to be previewing today
So when we we just listen to didiooe right and then will come back and explain some of these uh tricky vocabulary words that will see i called this meeting today
In order to discuss our manufacturing plan as i'm sure
You're aware with the credit it runch and the global financial crisis we are obligated to look for more cost efficient ways of producing our goods
We don't want to have to be looking at redundancies
So we've outlined a brief plan to implement the just in time philosophy
We have two basic points that we want to focus on first of all we want to reduce our leve time
Why would we want to do that
I think this is not an area that really needs to be worked on
When we want to reduce production and delivery lead times for better overall efficiency right production leads times can be reduced by moving work stations closer together
Reducing q length flag for example
Reducing the number of jobs waiting to be process that a given machine
And improving the coordination and cooperation between successive processes
Delivery lead times can be reduced through close cooperation with suppliers
Possibly by inducing suppliers to locate closer the factory or working with a faster shipping company
I see that makes sense
The second point is that we want to require supplier quality assurance and implement a zero defects quality program
We currently have far too many errors that lead to defective items
And therefore they must be eliminated equality control at the source program must be implemented to give worker's personal responsibility for the quality of the work they do
And the authority to stop production
When something goes wrong
I'm waiting you on this one
It's essential that we reduce these errors
Weve got to force all suppliers to reduce their mistakes
Exactly well
Let's look at how we're going to put this planet into action
First okay
So they're going to implement just in time in their company
Yes Yeah
I guess they're tting
Tting in some some control measures
So so marichael
There's some great language in here um what don't we look at it now in language take away
Language take away okay
The first word today
Redundancies
Redundancies
Redundancies
Redundancies
So this kind
Kind a strange word because usually redundancies
When you're speaking right um yeah
Maybe when you
You say something that's already been said
Exso tually you say something that has already been said
But we also use it in the tion line right ah
And it comes from the basase word redundant right okay
Um meaning extra more than what's needed
Okay
So when a person or position is made redundant
Um basically means they get laid off
Right right so redundancies are a synnm m of layoffs
Exactly okay
Alright
Let's take gular get the next word
Work stations
Work stations
Work stations
Work stations
So work station can work anything from your desk
Yeah
Or maybe a work bench
A work bench or even a place on a production line right so you're aa certain machine
Or something yeah so basically a work station work the area work you work
Okay
Okay
So you can say can we get a new work station for the new team member
Or i could say um ii want to move worwork station closer to my employees
Alright
So work station okay
Ah
Let's take a look at our next word at a given machine
At a given machine at a given
At a given
Ok
An interesting way to say at any machine exactly yeah
Yeah
Given here is operating exactly the same
Same as here
The we're given is operating exactly the same way as any as any
Yeah Okay
Let's listen to some examples of
Of how we can change it up a little byeof
And we can use this given word
Example one in this factory
How many cars are in production at any given time
Example too on any given day about forty million people use the internet
Example three firefighters have to be ready to attend an emergency at any given moment all right so any given time
At any given moment yep any given day okay
Now let's take a look at our last word today
Defective
Defective
Defective defective
So if something is defective
It has a problem
With it has a problem
Yeah
We can say defective is an adjective right and the now is defect
Defect
Yeah
So if something has a defect
It is defective right so for exam
Maybe you produce chachas
And
And you
You make one and this chair is missing a wheel
Okay so it's defective
Yes
The defect is the missing
Will the defect is the okay
So before we listen to our dialogue again
I want to take a look
Look this phphe again
I'm You
You this this one
I'm with you on this one
I'm with you on this one
I'm with you on this one
So what is that
What does that mean
Exactly i'm with you on this one
I agree with you
I agree with you on this point
Exactly okay
So if you agree with somebody on
On a certain point
You is Oh
I'm with you on this one
I agree with you
Exactly okay so now let's listen to our dialogue again
And hh will ll come back
Taltalk little bit more about the history of this this this in right the i called this meeting today
In order to discuss our manufacturing plan as i'm sure
You're all aware with the credit crunch and the global financial crisis
We are obligated to look for more cost efficient ways of producing our goods
We don't want to have to be looking at redundancies
So we've outlined a brief plan to implement the just in time philosophy
We have two basic points that we want to focus on first of all we want to reduce our lead time
Why would we want to do that
I think this is not an aria that really needs to be walked on
When we want to reduce production and delivery lead times for better overall efficiency right production lead times can be reduced by moving work stations closer together
Reducing q length flag for example reducing the number of jobs waiting to be process that a given machine and improving the coordination and cooperation between successive processes
Delivery lead times can be reduced through close cooperation with suppliers

I see that makes sense
The second point is that we want to require supplier quality assurance and implement a zero defects quality program
We currently have far too many errors that lead to defective items
And therefore they must be eliminated equality control at the source program
Must be implemented to give workerpersonal responsibility for the quality of the work they do
And the authority to stop production
When something goes wrong
I'm waiting you on this one
It's essential that we reduce these errors
We've got to force all suppliers to reduce their mistakes
Exactly well
Let's look at how we're going to put this planet into action first right so michael
I mentioned at the beginning of the lesson
That i don't know much about just in time um
But likely you do right yeah
I know a little bit about it so
So tell me a little bit about where this phphosopophy came it what a the origance of this idep
It actually became really pupper with toyota
And it was called the toyota production system
So many people think think this japopees
But in reality the japanopy that it from the united sttes
It's a philosophy that was thought up by ford moortor company
Yeah
In order imimproved production line
But
But the japapanevivited ted ford motor company
It wasn't fully implemented yet and oddly enough they found phphilosophy working already a piggly wiggly
What's a piggly weekly piggly wiggly in a chabut where of grocery stores in the united states
Okay
I'm not sure
If they're sited ybut
But yeah
They were really big and basically piggly wiggly was using this to improve the whole system of shipping and of stocking in everything okay
So how does it work so basically what you try to do is make your processes more efficient
Reduce the amount of space you're sing sing seset up
And this was really important for japanese
Because of course they don't have that much space in japan
To have this huge warehouses in the other gtries
So what you times they want to producing goods um just for the time they need it right exactly so trying to not be overstock yeah
Or
Or have like a long lead time
It's a long lead time
Where you have to keep something in a wareses
Exactly yeah
So that's way
It's so botent
And
And it's
It's imimprothe efefficeneny y between processes
Yeah
What sometimes called a bottleneck
You can have really good prorehouses in the beginning
But in the end
Maybe you have only that work spses because that's thing all these orders and everything gets bottled
And
And it causes delays
Yeah
So in the dialogue
They want to implement that just in time
Ststtegy gy as a way of avoiding redundancies
But it sounds to me like actually japan redundanancies
Sometimes
Yeah
Sometimes it does sometimes um
Sometimes when you make work stations more efficient
Or when you make all your processes work more fluently
Sometimes inevitably you will have to lay off some people
That are
That are redundant
Okay have you ever worked in a company
Where they've implemented ah just in time
Now actually have never never worked at a place
Where this philosophy was working
But uh i did used to work in a place
Where we had six sigma
Which is uh
Yeah
Which is a little bit similar yeah
Well i guess we'll need a lesson on sigsigmbut
Yeah
I'll see if we come up with a six sigma and what it means
And it's kind of interesting
Yeah
We want to hear what you think think have you guys worked in a place
But i did used they use just in time exactly
Or if you have any quality control measures
Yes
Have does your company avoid having defective items or defective services and visior website
Ah english pod dot com and mark one
I er always around to respond your comments and answer your questions
Exactly
So until then it's goodbye
