The relationship between TQM and JIT/Lean is described in Chapter 13 as being very close. TQM is typically thought of as a prerequisite to JIT/Lean. In Bernard Welding Equipment Company Combines JIT and TQM in a Successful Change of Culture, we get a close up look at the interactions between TQM and JIT/Lean.

The intensity of customer/supplier relationships in a JIT/Lean environment is important if Lean’s goals are met. As described in Chapter 13, it is common for customers and suppliers be behave like business partners. This has been particularly true in the case of the auto industry, where large customers can wield significant pressure on smaller suppliers. In the most successful of these relationships, the auto maker provides expertise to help the supplier by comply with requirements. In Flex-n-Gate Gets Assistance from Toyota in Implementing JIT, an example of this phenomenon is provided.
