Abstract
Some literature suggests that the best approach to production planning is a complete implementation of just-intime. It has also been suggested that JIT replaces material requirements planning, and computerized procedures are an unnecessary complex burden on management especially in a highly repetitive environment. This article examines the JIT programme at the John Deere Engine factory. In 1985 the factory began a JIT programme with the belief that it would replace their MRP system. The results of the JIT programme are examined and management’s conclusion that the best approach is a blend of JIT and MRP is explored. © 1995 Taylor and Francis Ltd.
