Abstract

Aplikasi konsep "Just–in–Time" (JIT) telah mencapai kejayaan yang ketara dalam persekitaran pembuatan. Kertas kerja ini memberi penjelasan yang terperinci terhadap konsep JIT serta menerangkan prasyarat dalam pelaksanaannya di sektor awam atau swasta. Walaupun kekuatan konsep ini tidak dipertikaikan, tetapi terdapat kajian menunjukkan bahawa ia tidak sesuai digunapakai untuk perolehan kerajaan secara menyeluruh. Namun demikian, nilai–nilai konsep JIT dalam konteks pengurusan pembekalan boleh dan patut diterokai. Just–in–Time (JIT) concept has been applied with considerable success in manufacturing environment. This paper provides insights of JIT concept and the pre–requisites for successful application of JIT in either private or public sectors. Although JIT concept has many advantages, a current study suggested that its application couldn´t be applied in total to Govenment purchasing environment. Nevertheless, the essence of JIT concept in the context of supply management can and should be exploited.
