| Abstract: | Just-in-time (JIT) purchasing relationships with suppliers involves close collaboration on product development and specifications, and on both product and information flows. The results of a study of 200 U.S. manufacturers demonstrate that the effects of JIT purchasing relationships are pervasive. First, organizational design changes as JIT purchasing increases, and the firm becomes more formalized in performance measurement, more integrated, and more specialized. |
