Abstract
Guided for an increasingly competitive market, companies have sought to attend consumer expectations by offering the best product, quality, flexibility, agility and cost effectively. Studies have been shown that the Just in Time (JIT) has proven to meet these requirements. Allied to information technology through e-procurement, using the JIT has boosted results. Practical results of this combination are presented in this paper, through a case study in a large multinational company in the food sector. The purpose of this article is to identify and present the benefits of using the JIT philosophy in the implementation of e-procurement in the purchasing and routing company.
