| Abstract: | After World War II, the Japanese incrementally applied new management practices to improve their global competitiveness. This study attempts to address some of the misunderstandings associated with JIT implementations. A systems approach is utilized for collecting data and analyzing pertinent relationships associated with JIT implementations in US manufacturers. Findings from the study suggest that an association exists between implemented JIT practices and type of production system. In addition, this is the first study to show the benefits attributed to JIT implementation as a function of implementation status of specific JIT management practices and type of production system. |
