Abstract
The principles behind just‐in‐time have long been recognized in the Western world. However, implementation in the West has not achieved full potential. This indicates uncertainty and a lack of knowledge in the West. Based on a comparison of 52 Japanese companies, indicates that the Western world has been using the wrong set of tools and that a reversed profile of competence is apparent. Shows that Western industries have neglected the process factors – the human factors.
