Comparison of Just-In-Time implementation in publicly listed companies in Japan, the United States and Singapore.

Abstract

With the increasing significance of the Just-in-Time (JIT) system in Singapore, this study has been undertaken to investigate JIT implementation, with particular reference to Singapore’s electronics sector, using companies in Japan and the United States (U.S.) for comparison. The relationships between inventory levels and two variables, profitability and firm size, are also examined.
