Just-in-time (JIT) manufacturing systems have attracted the attention of industries all over the world. The perceptible impact of JIT lies in attaining the far-reaching productivity and quality standards. Attempts have been made to examine JIT, its benefits and elements for their feasibility in Indian industries. Despite the profound interest of prospective managers, and researchers, the extent of JIT implementation in Indian industries so far is not satisfactory. The real challenge before Indian managers is to establish priorities among potential JIT techniques to achieve best possible advantage of JIT implementation in Indian industries. This paper attempts to evaluate the relative importance of decision attributes in the hierarchy for a case situation given herein. The present work describes a multi-attribute decision model using analytical hierarchy process for the justification of JIT for Indian industries.
