Abstract
To sustain in a global competitive market, any organization needs to focus on quality products at viable prices. There is a huge stress on the industry to redesign supply chain. Just In Time (JIT) production system plays a vital role in prolonged sustainability of any organization. The objective of this paper is to evaluate and rank JIT attributes for Indian manufacturing industries. Tewari et al. (2016) have ranked the performance indicators in JIT-based production system for manufacturing industries using Simple Additive Weighting (SAW). In this paper, a new deterministic quantitative model based on Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) has been applied for this type of ranking problem. The paper shows that ranking of JIT attributes for Indian manufacturing industries is similar using SAW and TOPSIS techniques.
