Abstract
Many companies have embraced the Just-In-Time manufacturing method because of the zeal with which its successes were reported. But JIT is a simple idea, and therefore often complicated to implement. In its pure form, JIT emphasizes low cost, high quality, and the consolidation of the product line--a smaller number of products and fewer options. It does not mean recklessly slashing inventories without having inventory buffers in place.
