(2009) state that the concept of lean resource management was developed in the 1950s by the car manufacturing company Toyota. There are several aspects of lean resource management including the JIT or just in time system. Under such system‚ the inventory or raw materials that the company needs are ordered just in time to be used to the production process. According to Teresko (2007)‚ Toyota’s Production System is one that emphasizes the concept of lean manufacturing systems. Through such process‚ the unnecessary
