Abstract: | Several manufacturers have bypassed the obstacles and adapted JIT to fit their individual needs, deriving benefits along the way. The practical difficulties arising from the implementation of a Just-in-Time (JIT) inventory management approach have caused some managers to dismiss it as a passing fad. When asked to cite the inventory strategies that do and do not work for their companies, purchasing managers identified JIT as the most frequently mentioned failure. |
