Description: Written in clear, straightforward language, Just-in-Time Manufacturing discusses in depth the implementation of JIT manufacturing. The objectives are two-fold. 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.

To assist students, the second edition includes end of chapter summaries and discussion questions to aid consolidation. The new edition has been revised and the references updated to provide students with a comprehensive and topical introduction to JIT manufacturing.
