Is Just-in-Time Justifiable?

Users of Just in Time logistics sometimes jump ship too
early when there is a problem. Many manufacturers use JIT approach but as
soon as there is a disruption in the supply chain they believe that the JIT
favors do not outweigh the risks. A look at Industry Week's best plant finalists indicate that in 2003 the number of manufacturers in the finals using JIT was 77%. The numbers dropped to 58%, 50% and 49% during 2004, 2005 and 2006 respectively.
