... mathematical model is developed to assign the optimal material feeding policy to each part type. The model allows choice between kitting, line stocking and just in time delivery policies. Findings – The choice of assembly lines feeding policy is not trivial and requires a thorough economic comparison...

...Pamela Danese; Pietro Romano; Thomas Bortolotti Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study whether just in time (JIT) supply practices interact with JIT production practices by positively moderating the relationship between JIT production and efficiency/delivery performance. Design...

.... The analysis focuses on three basic policies, namely kitting, just in time kanban‐based continuous supply and line storage, even including class‐based hybrid policies. Design/methodology/approach Descriptive models are developed to design components' delivery systems and to compute their performances...

... ability to coordinate and integrate the organization's complex network of relationships (Lambert et al., 1998). The just‐in‐time (JIT) philosophy and associated strategies, offer coordination and integration methods that support supply chain management efforts, when the strategies are extended...

...Kenneth W. Green; R. Anthony Inman Purpose In response to the just‐in‐time (JIT) II purchasing strategy developed at Bose, sellers in the manufacturing sector have become JIT‐II sellers. The purpose of this study is to test the propositions that implementation of a JIT‐II‐selling strategy...

...Kenneth W. Green, Jr; R. Anthony Inman Purpose Manufacturers have begun to develop and implement strategies that focus on strengthening the operations/marketing interface with customers. Claycomb et al. originally identified and described one such strategy, just‐in‐time (JIT...

...John F. Kros; Mauro Falasca; S. Scott Nadler Purpose To analyze the impact of the adoption of just‐in‐time (JIT) production systems by different equipment manufacturers (OEMs) on the inventory profiles of their suppliers. Design/methodology/approach The research is designed to examine five...

... linked to these processes, in order to build grounded theory about the origins of profitability in specific supply chain processes. Supply chain management Lean production Just in time Supply chain management has led to a fundamental shift in the logistics of material management...
