Evaluation of Different Factors in Implementation of JIT Production System by Applying Simulation and Entropy Weighting Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

Competitive advantage and more profit and eliminating wastes will cause organizations to use new methods and techniques to enhance their performance and reduce the wastes and inventory in their production process. To achieve these goals, statistical methods such as simulation and mathematically method such as Entropy weighting is used to evaluate the weight and importance of factors in implementation of Just in Time philosophy in manufacturing systems. To certify the results of this research a case study is presented which is a part of production line of one company in IRAN. The result will be discussed about the effects of factors on production line and decision making process for managers.
