Abstract
This paper reviews the impact of COVID-19 on Just in Time production in the automotive industry, focusing on the current situation and response in the field of supply chain management. The vulnerability of JIT systems has been exposed as supply chains have been disrupted due to the global lockdown policies brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. The paper also discusses how automotive companies are coping during the pandemic and the possibility of transforming the production of medical devices. Drawing from various scholarly insights, this paper examines the transition from Just in Time to Just in Case, evaluates the effectiveness of this phenomenon in buffering supply chain disruption issues, and the results suggest that JIC may be the new popular trend in the future, providing more flexibility for businesses in an uncertain social environment. Finally, based on the experience of the automotive industry during the COVID-19 pandemic, this paper puts forward suggestions from three aspects: supply chain collaboration, information security protection, and seeking a balance between inventory and cost.
