“…Therefore, implementation of various aspects of lean thinking can produce surprising outcomes in the supply chain of process industries. Roy and Guin (1999) propose a freight consolidation model of the purchased items in a steel plant to facilitate JIT purchasing and found considerable savings in inventory carrying costs. He and Hayya (2002), in a survey of 198 food manufacturing units in USA, found that JIT production resulted in positive impact on quality of products.…”

Traditionally, the lean paradigm has been applied to discrete manufacturing of items that can be easily put together and taken apart. The process industry, on the other hand, transforms raw materials into cohesive units that are basically blended into a final product with parts that cannot be disassembled and then reassembled. The current lean literature provides numerous commendable examples of theory and practices of lean principles in discrete manufacturing. However, its application in process industry is limited. Furthermore, there is no systematic accounting of the lean literature in this sector, which may have contributed to lesser awareness in the industry. This paper provides a state-of-the-art review of lean manufacturing literature with respect to its applications in process industry. It contributes to the classification of literature in a manner which helps to identify strategies suitable for the adoption of lean concepts in process industry. The paper seeks to synthesise the literature with an emphasis on identifying the scope for lean in process industry and associated benefits. The review also presents an analysis of the lean tools and techniques that have been applied or have potential application in the process industry and the challenges to implement lean. We believe that such a comprehensive review will not only facilitate the adoption of lean in process industry but will also provide agenda for further research by exposing voids in the knowledge base.

“…A few published articles strongly support the idea that lean is always beneficial whether it is implemented partially or adopted fully (Dov 1992;Roy and Guin 1999). Dov (1992) suggests that industry should start with a few lean tools and after proving their benefits can opt to apply subsequent tools.…”

“…It was preceded by a number of smaller companies, which are better described in contemporary legal language as partnerships, each formed by a number of merchants so as to pool their resources and reduce the risk. 469 In 1602, however, the Dutch Estates-General enacted an "Octrooi", which established the existence of the company and the rules by which it would be governed. 470 In the preamble, the Estates-General state that they are taking this action "uit souveraine magt ende authoriteit", i.e.…”

“…In fact, inventory reduction is perhaps the most visible result that JIT brings about. JIT in reality is a philosophy of supply chain excellence (Roy and Guin 1999). Initially conceptualized as an approach to reduce lead time and decrease inventory within a manufacturing plant (Schonberger 1982), JIT has expanded to include a broader set of production and purchasing practices (Kaynak and Hartley 2006;Fullerton et al 2003;White et al 1999;Hahn et al 1983;Schonberger and Ansari 1984;Schonberger and Gilbert 1983).…”

'Survival of the fittest' is the reality in modern global competition. Organizations around the globe are adopting or willing to embrace just-in-time (JIT) production to reinforce the competitiveness. Even though JIT is the most powerful inventory management methodologies it is not free from barriers. Barriers derail the implementation of JIT production system. One of the most significant tasks of top management is to identify and understand the relationship between the barriers to JIT production for alleviating its bad effects. The aims of this paper are to study the barriers hampering the implementation of successful JIT production and analysing the interactions among the barriers using interpretive structural modelling technique. Twelve barriers have been identified after reviewing literature. This paper offers a roadmap for preparing an action plan to tackle the barriers in successful implementation of JIT production.
