Just-in-time manufacturing: literature review and directions
TLDR
In this paper, the authors present a general survey of JIT implementation practices adopted by the manufacturing organizations and highlight the contribution of the JIT towards improving competencies of the organizations.Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to review the literature on just-in-time (JIT) and to present a general survey of JIT implementation practices adopted by the manufacturing organisations. The published literature has been deeply analysed and arranged systematically in this paper. This paper examines the evolution of JIT and its implementation in the organisations. Various strategies, elements and important issues of JIT are discussed in detail. This paper also highlights the contribution of JIT towards improving competencies of the organisations. After going through a large number of papers written on the subject, the JIT implementation practices employed by manufacturing organisations all over the world have been extensively reviewed and analysed in this paper. The approaches suggested by various researchers and practitioners have been discussed and the reasons behind failure of JIT programmes in the organisations have been critically evaluated. This paper also discusses the success factors and facilitators of JIT implementation in an organisation. This paper contains a comprehensive listing of publications in the field of JIT implementation and various articles have been classified in accordance with the attributes of JIT.read more

Entrenched time delays versus accelerating opinion dynamics: are advanced democracies inherently unstable?
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the time lags inherent in the election cycle will inevitable lead to political instabilities for advanced democracies characterized both by an accelerating pace of opinion dynamics and by high sensibilities (political correctness) to deviations from mainstream values.

Two Sides Of The Coin
TL;DR: By focusing specifically on the mutational processes prevalent in chromosomes of paternal origin, the authors may be able to explain some fraction of neurodevelopmental disorders, but the epidemiological evidence for effects of the age of both parents on the incidence of autism, which may point to the impact of other genetic factors as well as gestational and environmental influences.

Relationships between implementation of TQM, JIT, and TPM and manufacturing performance
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the compatibility of the practices in these three programs and find that manufacturing performance is associated with the level of implementation of both socially-and technically-oriented practices of the three programs.

Supply management orientation and supplier/buyer performance
TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of a supply management orientation (SMO) on the suppliers' operational performance and buyers' competitive priorities (cost, quality, delivery, flexibility) are tested using a confirmatory structural equation modeling approach.
