A synergistic analysis of joint JIT-TQM implementation

Both JIT and TQM have provided significant paradigm shifts in management philosophy to improve organizational effectiveness in today's competitive and ever-changing world market. Yet empirical studies correlating JIT, TQM and operational performance are still underdeveloped. Using a sample of 379 US computer and electronics companies, this study attempts to analyse the workforce practices and synergistic benefits of joint JIT-TQM implementation by comparing four groups of companies based on their implementation status of JIT and TQM.
