Abstract

Implementing JIT in a production system may not always be straightforward, and disappointing situations for managers and stakeholders can frequently arise, such as an early abandonment of the technique, its slow implementation, or the absence of convincing results that do not match with those reported in the literature. However, information regarding JIT benefits could often be misinterpreted, since the literature addresses them in different contexts. On the other hand, the literature approaching problems and errors associated with JIT implementation process is not equally disseminated.
