Abstract

Even there have been a lot of studies related to JIT production system in automotive industry globally; there is still lack of evidence that Malaysia automotive industry is practicing this remarkable production system. Because of that, this study conducted to explore and figure out on JIT implementation in Malaysia automotive industry.

These identified elements then used in investigation of JIT implementation in Malaysia automotive industry. A set of questionnaire designed based on activities that related to elements figured in order to further investigate of JIT implementation in an organization. This questionnaire then distributed randomly to automotive companies all over Malaysia. All data then collected and tested by using a well-known statistical test, a Chi-Square test.
