Abstract

Just-in-time technique is used to enhance firms’ performance, service level and reduce/eliminate waste from the end-to-end system. Undeniably, just-in-time is playing significant role in the today’s world to achieve firms’ objective in terms of high service level with minimum cost. This research’ objective is to fill the gap by forming, organizing an complete picture of a Just-in-Time execution process from the opinions of both academicians and practitioners by comparing results based on different research methods. This research is based on secondary method used to collecting and summarize to the very relevant articles, which has been published. Uncountable studies including; said Just-in-Time education is a critical factor in JIT execution. The results show several factors involved in the just-in-time implementation such as, quality circle, reduction in set-up time, quality certificate of suppliers, cross-training, just-in-time education, relationship with supplier, schedule stability, top management commitment towards JIT project, in-house lot sizes etc. The researchers also discussed research implications in detailed.
