JIT benefits‚ as framed by Garrison and Noreen (2000)‚ include the bolster of working capital by reducing capital in inventories; the optimization of space for more productive works; the increase of productivity; and the reduction of defect rates. Similarly‚ Younies‚ Barhem‚ and Hsu (2007) found that: The implementation of JIT can provide many advantages to a company.
