The justintime JIT purchasing system has been demonstrated as amechanism to reduce inventory carrying cost and improve the quality ofincoming materials. One major limitation of the JIT purchasing system isthat it demands a major change in peoples attitudes and work habits.While leading an organisation towards the complete implementation of aJIT system, management must have creative and innovative ideas to ensurecooperation of all concerned.
