摘要：Distribution process of a supply chain management is very important and strategic. To stay efficient in delivering the finished goods in the hands of end user, the speed and responsiveness of distribution mechanism are most essential. Just in Time (JIT) has proved result oriented in the manufacturing systems since 1985. Since then its applicability in several fields are being investigated. Low inventory, small lot size, least lead time and quality product are some desirable features of JIT, which proves beneficiary to the firm. This paper highlights JIT applied distribution process in order to shorten the lead time, inventory holding costs. Application of Graph theory (GTA) methodology has been used to investigate the interdependencies of dimensions and its attributes of JIT implemented distribution. Then an empirical value of JIT distribution process (JDP) of an organisation has been derived , subsequently coefficient of distribution dissimilarity and similarity have been found for two organisation and based on these values comparison 0f any two organisation can be done. Approach can be used to know the lacks of various organizations based on their feasibility index of transition (FIT) value and which is required to develop to transform the organisation applying JIT in distribution process.
