Abstract
This paper gives a relationship model and supporting activities of Just-in-time (JIT), Total Quality Management (TQM), and Total Productive Maintenance (TPM). By reviewing the concepts, 5S, Kaizen, preventive maintenance, Kanban, visual control, Poka-Yoke, and Quality Control tools are the main supporting activities. Based on the analysis, 5S, preventive maintenance, and Kaizen are the foundation of the three concepts. QC tools are required activities for implementing TQM, whereas Poka-Yoke and visual control are necessary activities for implementing TPM. After successfully implementing TQM and TPM, Kanban is needed for JIT.
