The aircraft for World War I (WWI)‚ and their purpose‚ greatly differed from those in World War II (WWII). Their value was defined by the author R. G.

Just in Time is first applied by Ford Company in 1923‚ and then it was implemented by Toyota Motor. Applications of these strategies and techniques have provided many benefits for a company. Beasley states that some of the benefits of JIT are: cost savings‚ higher productivity‚ reduce scrap and rework. Wilson also mentions that

materials are reduced as the number of suppliers a particular company deals with is minimal. Fast food franchises use this strategy as food is cooked to order so there is not a large inventory of cooked food on hand. In accordance with the just in time (JIT) philosophy‚ McDonalds cooks food to order so that the customer receives fresh food within a very short amount of time. There are many benefits this company receives when adhering to this philosophy in terms of cost‚ quality and fluctuating demand

decades‚ through their JIT systems‚ world class manufacturers have dominated their competitors not only in the areas of price‚ quality‚ and manufacturing speed but also in new product development speed and quick commercialization of new technologies (Bebb‚ 1989; Dumaine‚ 1989a & b; Blackburn‚ 1991; Clark and Fujimoto‚ 1991; Ulrich and Eppinger‚ 2000).

and prevented from collapsing completely by means of a leaf spring. In some cases complete collapsing is prevented by its own rigidity. The capsule is mounted inside a case. The case is fed with static pressure from aircraft static tube/ vent. As the aircraft climbs the static pressure in the case decreases allowing the spring to pull the capsule faces apart. If the aircraft descends the rise in pressure in the case compresses the capsule faces. The linear movement of the capsule face is magnified
