Just in time is an advanced manufacturing philosophy, which is practiced all over the world by organizations to achieve excellence in their performance. As most of the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) are managing their supplies on JIT basis, their vendors are under tremendous pressure to adopt JIT. The JIT principles seems easy to adopt, yet many organizations fail to implement it.  The implementation of JIT requires a radical change in the way of working at all level of the organization starting from top management to maintaining good customer relations. Indian Corrugated Packaging Industries play a very important role especially at the final dispatch of the product. This research paper tries to find out the readiness of ICPI for the implementation of JIT. Also it tries to find out whether the type of company matters in the implementation of JIT. The survey was conducted in companies in National Capital Region (NCR) of India, mainly Delhi, Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurgaon and Faridabad. The implementation readiness of these companies based on company type was analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA). The result shows that there was a distinction between industries type (family owned, Private Limited and Limited) and level of JIT implementation. Further the Friedman test was used to find out the predominant principle in each type of the industries. The purpose of this study is to provide a roadmap to Indian Corrugated Packaging Industries to implement JIT successfully. The contribution of this paper is the identification of the implementation JIT issues for ICPI as well as the status of these companies based on their classification.  The results of this study is matching with studies in other type of components, proving the universal nature of JIT principles.
