The Just-In-Time implementation project

摘要

The main goal of JIT implementation is to solve problems, to find solutions. Most of the time, JIT is described as waste elimination at all levels, as a means of maximising high-added value activities payoff or to minimise low-added value activities impact. The firm that wants to im- plement JIT also wants to know the cost and length of this process and its related activities. But above all, the firm certainly wants a successful implementation at the first attempt and an im- plementation process that perfectly suits that firm's needs. Project management provides a framework capable of monitoring the complex JIT implementation process: it is a management tool developed for planning, controlling, and monitoring an intricate set of non-repetitive activi- ties and within this paper, it is applied to JIT implementation.
