Abstract
  • This monograph provides information to companies in the forest products industry about the process of implementing a Just-In-Time (JIT) management system, including JIT purchasing and JIT manufacturing. In addition, this monograph illustrates the impact of JIT on organizational accounting and productivity. Many authors have suggested that today's globally competitive marketplace requires companies to be world class competitors in order to be successful. Many companies from a variety of industries around the world have found that JIT can contribute to being a world class competitor. In particular, JIT can enhance manufacturing productivity, product quality, and employee motivation. This monograph presents a case study of Oregon Cutting Systems (OCS). OCS was formerly known as OMARK Industries, but is now a subsidiary of Blount, Inc. The long relationship of OCS with the forest industry is based on its primary product-saw chain for power saws. OCS has also been one of the most successful American companies in implementing JIT. Forest products companies with any interest in JIT can learn much from how OCS implemented JIT.
