Abstract

This paper investigates the current status of the implementation level of Just-In-Time (JIT) within the Oil & Gas (OGI), Iron & Steel (ISI), Cement (CI) and Construction (C) Industries within Libya and its implication for management within the said industries. A survey methodology has been applied in this investigation using an intensive questionnaire and one-to-one interviews of the correspondent organizations. Based on the analysis of the survey questionnaire and the one-to-one interview responses, the results show that the management body does not have a clear strategy towards most of the areas that are considered as being crucial in any successful implementation of the JIT techniques. The implementation levels of the JIT techniques are found to be in the modest levels even in the organizations that have indicated themselves as JIT implementers. The research has identified management limitations within the investigated areas and has pointed to areas where the management body needs to take immediate actions in order to achieve an effective and successful JIT implementation within their organizations. This is an important finding for the future success of the Libyan industries and the similar ones. arabic 18 English 107
