PRODUCT QUALITY, JUST IN TIME, AND COST EFFICIENCY: THE ROLE OF MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS

The management information system is one of the aspects that determine cost efficiency, so the organization needs to have one in place, and this is crucial because businesses frequently overlook the importance of punctuality while supporting their production processes. The study's goal was to ascertain how production cost efficiency is impacted by just-in-time delivery, product quality, and management information systems. A survey of Karya Logam firm employees in Sidoarjo was done for this study. 92 respondents were used in a saturation sampling process. Next, SEM was used to analyze the data. The results demonstrate that while product quality does not substantially impact cost efficiency, just-in-time and management information systems do. The study also demonstrates how management information systems and cost efficiency are positively mediated by just-in-time delivery and product quality. Optimizing the utilization of management information systems is necessary since they are a critical component in raising cost efficiency. There are still few studies on JIT and product quality as mediating factors, especially in the context of cost effectiveness. By developing a model that included JIT and product quality as mediating factors, the study aimed to close this gap.
