Abstract
Practicing managers and academicians have described a variety of elements of the just‐in‐time (JIT) implementation process. Reports a survey to determine which of these elements are critical to success in JIT implementation. The survey of 114 JIT users related the importance of these elements to the magnitude of improvements in inventory and utilization criteria. Found that, in addition to production elements, a collection of vendor‐related elements have a significant impact on successful implementation. Discusses managerial implications for the vendor.Keywords
