with other issues
• Treating Vendors
• Initially a restricted access to be given
• Confidential information about competitors will not be
shared and so as other sensitive information.

to reach the full potential of JIT II approach

critical information will be maintained

seated in the manufacturing facility to
ensure JIT II approach is maintained.
