ABSTRACT (ENGLISH)
This research develops a model of relationships among components of Total-JIT, including JIT-information, JIT-
manufacturing, JIT-purchasing, and JIT-selling, to establish an implementation hierarchy based on relative
importance. The data collected relates to the relationships among JIT components and two performance
measures, supply chain competency and organizational performance. Two groups are used in the research, one
group of five operations management academics and another group of 30 practicing operations managers working
in U.S. manufacturing firms. An interpretive structural modelling methodology is used to develop alternative
structural models. The academics’ data show JIT-information emerging as lynchpin of relationships, directly
impacting all other JIT practices and both performance measures. The practitioners’ data indicates that all JIT
practices and performance measures are interactive as components and outcomes. This study is the first to apply
interpretive structural modelling to investigate the interplay among total-JIT components and the performance
measures of supply chain competency and organizational performance.
