| Abstract | This study derronstrates the irrplications of adapting Just-In-Time production system in a developing country environment. A
system dynamics model of a manufacturing industry has been
developed in which a set of decisions related to Just-In-Time are
irrplemented. The decisions taken outside of the finn are taken as
given. The behaviour of the production system is examined when it
is disturbed from equilibirium. The irrplementation of Just- In-Time system results in increased cost and permanent loss of
ma.rket share and lonering the safety stocks. The policy of adding
Kanban according to changes in dema.nd introduces disturbances in
Parts Inventory. A new system, which borrons decision priciples
both from MRP and Just-In-Time system,. is proposed as an
alternative for the developing countries. The proposed system
reduces fluctuations in Work-In- Process and Parts Inventories,
while also improving profitability and market share. |
