ABSTRACT This study investigates the relationship between the level of just-in-time (JIT) implementation and performance. The study employed self-administered questionnaire survey to collect data from Malaysian manufacturing companies. The statistical tests provide empirical evidence to support the predictions that the level of JIT implementation is related to perceived performance. The results reveal that the level of JIT implementation is positively related to both financial and non financial performance

inventory. Basically the idea of JIT is to produce necessary items at the necessary time in the necessary quantity needed. It is a management philosophy and not a technique‚ which is associated with the management process and not the end-result. In other words‚ the idea is to supply materials only when needed for production to eliminate storage costs and waste. This report is to understand the processes in JIT as well as to identify the reason behind employing JIT system within a company and its

by implementing systems and processes to supply a product or service exactly when it is needed‚ and how it is needed in the production process. The concept of JIT is widely accepted today by many American manufacturing companies‚ and it is a means of controlling costs through striving to maintain lean inventories—in fact‚ the concept of JIT was introduced in the early 1980’s to the U.S. as a concept know as “zero inventories”. This inventory control concept involves close relationships with vendors

Just-In-Time Concept. Just-In-time manufacturing‚ or JIT‚ is a management philosophy aimed at eliminating manufacturing wastes by producing only the right amount and combination of parts at the right place at the right time. This is based on the fact that wastes result from any activity that adds cost without adding value to the product. The goal of JIT‚ is to minimize the presence of non-value-adding operations and non-moving inventories in the production line. This will result in shorter throughput

originated and was applied in manufacturing organizations in Japan since the early 1970’s. In its early stages‚ JIT was utilized as a means to meet customer demand and minimize delays. The emphasis of JIT referred to a process where the production of goods met customer needs for quality and quantity. The Japanese plants and processes were arranged for maximum output and improved efficiencies. Today JIT has new insight and means by striving to produce with the minimum amount of waste. Waste is referred as
