Description
Many proponents of just-in-time manufacturing see MRP II systems as a thing of the past, believing that true JIT leaves control of production to computerless systems such as kanban. Many MRP II advocates fear that computer automation is under attack and perceive kanban as a replay of older systems. Advanced manufacturing companies do best with hybrid systems, both kanban and MRP. Managers must ask basic questions of manufacturing strategy to get the best mix.
