ABSTRACT

JIT means greater involvement of personnel in all areas, including problem-solving. JIT has aspects that concern raising productivity, but the primary goal - let me put it crudely - is not to reduce the number of heads but to use heads to innovate and to improve the overall system. JIT is not a value analysis of fixed costs but another way of distributing tasks. JIT only works properly when job enlargement, job enrichment, and other parts of the humanisation of a work programme have been achieved.
