Background: This study examined the role of total quality management, just-in-time, and green supply chain management practices to improve environmental performance. Methods: Data from 207 manufacturing industry respondents from a developing economy were tested through a quantitative method...

The JITs Network consist of experts, appointed by each EU Member State, representing judicial and law enforcement dimensions of a JIT. At a national level, the experts act as contact points whom practitioners can address with JIT-related questions. A list of contact points is accessible through...

Purpose: This research develops a model integrating inventory with order pick-up that considers both the vendor's capacities and the pick-up time for the multi-vendor single-buyer (MVSB) system. Design/methodology/approach: A model of integrating inventory with pick-up of order considering both...

This paper proposes a novel method of Pareto front generation from a set of piecewise linear trade-off curves typically encountered in bi-objective just-in-time (JIT) scheduling problems. We have considered the simultaneous minimization of total weighted earliness and tardiness (TWET) and total...

Just-in-time (“JIT”) liquidity is a liquidity provision strat- egy found in blockchain-based automated market makers like the Uniswap Protocol, where a liquidity provider (“LP”) mints and burns a concen- trated position immediately before and after a swap. There have been wide-spread...

The Covid-19 pandemic and other recent disruptions in the early 2020s led to sections in the business press blaming Just-in-Time (JIT) practices for operational failings. Consequently, there are calls for moving away from JIT toward holding more inventory as preparation against future...

This study investigates whether the ability of top management teams (TMTs) influences efficient just-in-time (JIT) inventory management. Using a sample of U.S. listed firms spanning the period 1987 to 2018, our analyses, via mediation and moderation tests, show that more able TMTs enhance firm...

"The eponymous concept of Proximity is as follows: products and services are produced and provided ever closer to the moment of demand in time and space. As technological power accelerates, so does the transformative potential of proximity. This applies across industries -- from vertical farming...

The motivation of this study is to analyze the impact of corporate culture, management commitment, and Human resources management on operational performance and the mediating effect on those relationships from JIT implemen-tation. A questionnaire-based survey was used to investigate the research...

In today’s competitive environment, where the profit margins are shrinking, most companies in the world are working on their inventory management techniques. Companies are working on logistics and supply chain management, Just-in-time management to cut down inventory holding costs, and at the...

Covid-19 highlighted the weaknesses in the supply chain. Many have argued that a more resilient or robust supply chain is needed. But what does a robust supply chain mean? And how do firms' decisions change when taken that approach? This paper studies a very stylized model of a supply chain,...

Purpose: This study aimed at implementing lean six sigma to evaluate the productivity and manufacturing waste in the production line of a paper company Methodology/Approach: The study is a case study in nature. The method illustrates how lean six sigma (LSS) is used to evaluate the existing...

An important element of the cost of distance is time taken in delivering final and intermediate goods. We argue that time costs are qualitatively different from direct monetary costs such as freight charges. The difference arises because of uncertainty. Unsynchronised deliveries can disrupt...
