Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyze the applicability of the Just-in-Time (JIT) System in manufacturing of ethanol. For this, were selected from the specialized literature the requirements that make up the JIT System so that each requirement identified was confronted to the characteristics and peculiarities of the process and current technology of producing ethanol. We conclude that, although the most significant requirement of the JIT system, manufacturing in the rhythm of "customer pull" is not possible in the manufacture of ethanol given the peculiar characteristic of its main raw material, sugarcane, we conclude that JIT is applicable to the ethanol production system and can bring real benefits to companies that adopt it.
