Just-in-time manufacturing, management accounting systems and profitability
Article Abstract:
It is important to consider the role of performance-related information provided by management accounting systems (MAS) in just-in-time (JIT) manufacturing environments. Research in this area has established that the profitability of JIT adopter firms rises as the provision of MAS information improves. It seems that JIT manufacturing adopter firms are more profitable than non-adopters. This research has provided empirical support for the prescriptive literature highlighting the benefits of adopting JIT manufacturing in terms of boosting profitability.
