Lean manufacturing impacts several operational performances. The usefulness of JIT links with suppliers is also well known. However, literature lacks strong empirical evidences to exhibit the relationship between lean manufacturing, operational performances and JIT linkages with suppliers. This paper aims to investigate this relationship. A questionnaire-based international survey was used to o...

The purpose of this study is to identify and evaluate the scale of implementation of Just-In-Time (JIT) in the different industrial sectors in the Middle East. This study analyzes the empirical data collected by a questionnaire survey distributed to companies in three main industrial sectors in the Middle East, which are: food, chemicals and fabrics. The following main hypotheses is formulated ...

For performance reasons, it is desirable for Java just-in-time (JIT) compilers to statically identify array element accesses that can never cause an out of bounds exception, but the most precise analyses are too expensive to run in JIT compilers. We present verifiable annotations that can be added to Java programs to capture the results of range analyses as claimed linear inequalities and proof...

In order to speed up the execution of Java applications, JIT compilers compile method bytecodes into native code at run time. Once a method is compiled, subsequent executions of this method will run a generated machine-dependent code, which is generally faster than interpreting bytecodes. In addition, JIT compilers can apply several optimizations to the code to increase the performance even fur...

JavaScript is emerging as the ubiquitous language of choice for web browser applications. These applications increasingly execute on embedded mobile devices, and thus demand responsiveness (i.e., short pause times for system activities, such as compilation and garbage collection). To deliver responsiveness, web browsers, such as Firefox, have adopted trace-based Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation. ...

The primary consequence of just-in-time (JIT) production is reduction of inventory. The associated benefit is (a) improved cashflow due to less financial resource tied up in inventory, and (b) less storage space required hence more productive plant area. Coupled with lean production and total quality management (TQM), it may also be possible to (c) improve worker productivity, (d) improve produ...
