N2 - This paper presents a software structure for a fully computer integrated JIT Supply Chain Production Synchronization System using Internet and EDI technology. Forming a JIT supply chain makes the production scheduling activity much more complex because: (i) while a manufacturer is trying to synchronize its internal production activity, it needs to synchronize with the activities of external partners on the same chain as well; and (ii) under JIT, suppliers typically make smaller and more frequent deliveries, resulting in a significant increase in related business transactions and the variations of the inputs to the scheduling process is increased accordingly. This paper discusses why and how the application of Internet and EDI technology can improve the production synchronization of a JIT supply chain System. A software structure for system integration is also presented.
