STUDY OF JIT SYSTEM IN INVENTORY AND ITS IMPLEMENTATION

Material management plays very important role in any industry. Improper handling and managing materials on site during a construction process will influence the total project cost, time and the quality. JIT delivery is a service of frequent deliveries in work packs or task loads, 'pulled' just in time for the trade to perform the next task without incurring any delays. This can be done either through a CCC or individually by suppliers. JIT deliveries reduce or even eliminate the need for on-site storage of materials. Not only does this improve the site logistics but it reduces the risk of damage or loss of materials stored on-site as well as reducing congestion and the associated risks such as safety incidents.
