• Resumen

  • This research work investigates the use of just in time (JIT) as a total quality management tool for the aluminium foundry industry. It explores the adaptation of the manufacturing approach to a metal foundry, where raw materials are imported in a highly unstable economy. JIT is applied to improve cost effectiveness of operations and quality and to achieve world-class benchmarks on all facets of the engineering entity as competitiveness in product delivery is becoming mandatory for business survival.
