Abstract
Indian Corrugated Packaging Industries (ICPI) have
built up tough competition among the industries in
terms of product cost, quality, product delivery,
flexibility, and finally customer’s demand. As their
customers, mostly OEMs are asking Just in Time
deliveries, ICPI must implement JIT in their system.
The term "JIT” as, it denotes a system that utilizes less,
in terms of all inputs, to create the same outputs as
those created by a traditional mass production system,
while contributing increased varieties for the end
customer. (Womack et al. 1990) "JIT" focuses on
abolishing or reducing Muda (“Muda", the Japanese
word for waste) and on maximizing or fully utilizing
activities that add value from the customer's
perspective. There is lack of awareness in identifying
the right enablers of JIT implementation. Therefore,
this study has tried to find out the enablers from the
literature review and expert’s opinions from corrugated
packaging industries and developed the relationship
matrix to see the driving power and dependence
between them. In this study, modeling has been done
in order to know the interrelationships between the
enablers with the help of Interpretive Structural
Modeling and Cross Impact Matrix Multiplication
Applied to Classification (MICMAC) analysis for the
performance of Indian corrugated packaging
industries.
