Abstract: | This research paper aims to explore and understand the contextual factors that have significant impact on the use of innovative manufacturing practice like Just-In-Time (JIT) in the tyre industry. This system is used to replace the implementation of JIT method in tyre manufacturing industry instead of employing more labor because the other competitive tyre manufacturing industries have practiced this method and they have come to a higher profitable level. The tyre industry profitability has been eroded by rising labor cost, increasing number of rivals and constantly changing customer demand. Many manufacturing firms have looked into innovative manufacturing systems to remain profitable. As a result, transforming business by implementing new manufacturing practices has been applied. JIT) production system represents one such new technology. The sole problem addressed in what factors affecting the adoption of Just-In-Time (JIT) system in Sri Lankan tyre industry. However, it is unclear what the necessary step might be, and what type of factors have significantly impact on the use of JIT system as a whole. This will be an interpretive research study using quantitative and qualitative data collection techniques. A preliminary conceptual model has been developed based on literature review and relevant theories were guided to carry out the research. |
