Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Auto parts at an assembly plant are typically ordered using a just-in-time (JIT) inventory system rather than a fixed-order-interval system. JIT systems aim to minimize inventory levels by ordering parts only as they are needed for production, which contrasts with the fixed-order-interval system's approach of ordering at regular intervals regardless of current stock levels.
