What the study found

While some coffee shop MSMEs in Jember Regency have adopted just in time (JIT) inventory management, most face significant barriers to broader adoption.

Why the authors say this matters

The authors say these findings have practical implications for MSME inventory management and local economic development. The study suggests that overcoming JIT barriers may help support sustainable business operations.

What the researchers tested

The researchers used a descriptive qualitative approach. They collected data from 14 local coffee shops through in-depth interviews and participant observation.

What worked and what didn't

Some MSMEs had adopted JIT, but the study found major obstacles including inconsistent coffee quality, fluctuating raw material prices, supplier reliability, and high storage and transportation costs. These constraints hindered comprehensive JIT adoption and may affect operational efficiency.

What to keep in mind

The abstract describes a small qualitative study in one region, so the findings are limited to the coffee shop MSMEs included. The abstract does not provide additional limitations beyond the barriers it identified.

Key points

  • Some coffee shop MSMEs in Jember Regency have adopted just in time (JIT) inventory management.
  • Most of the coffee shops studied faced barriers to full JIT adoption.
  • Reported obstacles included inconsistent coffee quality, fluctuating raw material prices, supplier reliability, and high storage and transportation costs.
  • The study used interviews and participant observation with 14 local coffee shops.
  • The authors say the findings have practical implications for inventory management and local economic development.
