With the demand for using a huge data exchange, the complexity
of parts supply has forced the manufacturer to go for
online communication systems to enrich the communication
between the manufacturer, supplier, customer and manufacturing
process itself. While technology and information system are
clearly very important in production, manufacturers still face a
restriction in respect of the resources and capabilities. Therefore,
it is important to select effective strategies for supplying parts to
achieve a smooth production with the adoption of the JIT
concept.
