Abstract
Just-in-Time (JIT) production is a strategy that has been adopted by many businesses to boost their profitability and reduce costs. The use of JIT has a significant impact on supply chain management and productivity [1]. JIT inventory management reduces the time and resources required for manufacturing, which results in faster production and shorter production runs. This approach is popular due to its cost reduction and efficiency enhancement benefits [1]. A comparative analysis can be conducted to understand the impact of JIT on supply chain management and productivity [2]. Lower inventory levels in JIT also reduce product damage, which is an added advantage to businesses [2]. JIT positively impacts supply chain management and productivity, as it allows companies to implement product changes quickly due to less raw material stock [2]. However, the JIT strategy can be problematic when supply chains face disruption [3]. Companies must be flexible to adjust production levels quickly and efficiently to meet changing customer requirements [4]. JIT production is designed to respond to customer demand fluctuations, resulting in increased customer satisfaction and on-time deliveries [4] [2]. JIT has a positive impact on productivity, reducing bottlenecks, delays throughout the production cycle, and flow times within production systems [3] [2] [3]. JIT inventory management helps to reduce product defects and automate processes. At the same time, JIT production scheduling allows jobs to be scheduled exactly when needed, resulting in production runs that start and end just in time for shipping [2]. Furthermore, JIT can improve response times from suppliers and customers, which is essential in today's fast-paced business environment [3].
