THE DEGREE OF HUMAN FACTOR IN SUCCESS OF JUST IN TIME SYSTEM IN MOAM INDUSTRY IN LIBYA

Abstract

Just- in- time system is one of the new and modern systems in the manufacturing and management world. It has received more attention than other systems in the last decade in developed countries, however, developing countries are still unaware of its importance in increasing their ability to compete in the global market by improving their product quality and decreasing cost. The JIT system focuses on the concept of human resource development more than it in traditional manufacturing ways. The workers are the most important factor to the success of Just- in- time system. The focus of this study is to show the degree of the JIT System and human element in the mineral oil and asphalt manufacturing industries in Libya (MOAM). A 650 questionnaire was developed for the workers in the MOAM factories in Libya and tested using the collected data that was gained from the sample. T-Test and F-test through a simple linear regression was used to identify the study model. Finally, this research emphasizes the importance of human factors in reducing products cost.
