...Hyonsong Chong; Richard E. White; Victor Prybutok As a result of progressive implementations of just‐in‐time (JIT) management practices, researchers have attempted to identify those elements critical to the success of implementation. While the literature shows general agreement on organizational...

.... In order to increase competitiveness in global and turbulent markets a renewed organization approach has been proposed based on total manufacturing management and just‐in‐time methodologies. Improvements in set‐up and lead times, work in progress, material handling, product and process quality...

...Kwasi Amoako‐Gyampah; Vidyaranya B. Gargeya Just‐in‐time (JIT) production has received a great deal of attention worldwide in the last couple of decades. Most research has examined the effects of the JIT philosophy and practice in developed countries (such as the USA, Canada, and Australia...

...Abolfazl Kazazi It is not sufficient just to make the decision to implement just‐in‐time(JIT) and then let events run their course. It is important also to have in place an auditing procedure that can monitor that JIT is being implemented efficiently and correctly. These procedures should ideally...

... by manufacturers today. US companies are searching for new ways to improve their ability to compete globally. One technique that has attracted much attention during the past decade is the Just‐in‐time (JIT) concept.
