International Journal of Vehicle Design (IJVD), Vol. 16, No. 4/5, 1995

Abstract: This study examines the impact of situational performance constraining factors on workforce performance in a Just-In-Time (JIT) environment of US manufacturers. A review of related literature to situational performance constraining factors is presented. The linkage between the effect of situational constraints on worker performance in manufacturing and the impact on JIT implementation success is explored. A field study of 15 firms was conducted followed by an empirical study of 130 US manufacturing firms. The findings of the study are discussed in the context of identification and elimination of situational performance constraints in JIT manufacturing.
