Tiivistelmä
The objective of the thesis was to identify the process of procurement of resources in implementing Just-in-Time system. The theoretical part was based on published literature, such as books, journals, and theses on the subject of Lean and Just-in-Time that served as a foundation for the empirical part.
The theoretical part of the paper identifies key success factors of the Just-in-Time implementation process such as human resource practices, management style, organizational strategic vision, and organizational culture. The thesis provides the challenges that companies may face when they change their management system towards implementing JIT concept.
This paper analyzed the activities in manufacturing enterprise production and business operation by using JIT methods. The conclusions are more based on a general indication rather than a statistically significant result and certain aspects are critical to successful JIT implementation. However, most of the findings of the literature review were reflected by case study.
This thesis topic could be developed further by choosing a particular company with appropriate organization structure in order to implement JIT concept within every department when the organization seeks to strive for a competitive advantage.
