JIT: a way to get strategic results from the shop floor
Abstract
Just-in-Time (JIT) is a proven management
innovation which is assuming international
importance for achieving industrial
excellence. It is necessary to understand
JIT for improving the efficacy of our own
industrial policy and management. Yet JIT
seems to have been virtually ignored by
Indian authors so far.
Thomas argues that Indian industry
must not develop a blindspot to important
management innovations originating abroad.
He introduces JIT, summarizes its
main elements, and discusses the way it
gets strategic results from the shop floor.
Thomas feels that JIT enables top
management to push strategic thinking to
all parts of the organization thus linking
day to day actions of all employees with
the top management's long term
strategies.
