Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

JIT inventory systems aim to minimize or eliminate inventory, resulting in a lean and efficient production process. This approach is designed to avoid overproduction and reduce waste, making it a popular choice for many manufacturers. Options A and C are incorrect because JIT does not necessarily result in more suppliers or require automation. Option B is incorrect because JIT is a "pull" system that focuses on producing goods based on demand rather than pushing products into the market.
