Abstract: This paper examined Just-in-Time (JIT), operationalization and reliability of manufacturing technology amongst SMEs in selected rural community in South-South in Nigeria. The questionnaire was the major instrument for data collection. The data obtained from a sample of 525 respondents were subjected to both descriptive (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (Ordinary Least Square). JIT was proxied by three dynamics such as actual production time, actual machine time and order accuracy. The results indicate that actual production time, actual machine time and order accuracy positively impact on operationalization and reliability of manufacturing technology and is statistically significant. From the findings, it was concluded that JIT system shapers reliability. On this note, it was recommended among others that manufacturing concerns should deploy JIT in their manufacturing processes, as it will ensure reliability of manufacturing technology.
