Written in clear, straightforward language, Just-in-Time Manufacturing: An introduction discusses in-depth the implementation of JIT manufacturing. The objectives are twofold: firstly, to acquaint the reader with the overall JIT concept and the factors necessary for its implementation, and secondly to reinforce this with an actual case study of JIT implementation in a manufacturing company.

This book addresses three fundamental building blocks of JIT, namely setting up a JIT production system, improving quality, and instilling total employee involvement. JIT implementation issues are covered and supported by an industrial case study.
