The relationship between JIT production and Manufacturing strategy and their impact on JIT performance

چکیده
This study constructs multi-item scales to measure key components of JIT production and manufacturing strategy and examines the relationship between them, and the impact of manufacturing strategy on JIT performance for machinery, electrical & electronics and automobile industries in Japan, USA, and Italy. JIT production scales include JIT schedule, JIT layout, JIT delivery by suppliers, JIT link with customers, pull system, and setup time reduction. Manufacturing strategy scales are measured in terms of achievement and leadership of functional integration, anticipation of new technologies, communication of manufacturing strategy, formal strategic planning, manufacturing-business strategy linkage, and proprietary equipment. The results from regression analysis show that after controlling for the industry and country effects, manufacturing strategy scales have positive and significant impact on JIT production. The results also show that manufacturing strategy scales have positive and significant impact on JIT performance.
