Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

JIT, or just-in-time, is a manufacturing philosophy focused on producing goods only when they are needed in the production process. It is a "pull" system because materials are pulled through the production process based on demand, rather than pushed through based on a pre-determined schedule (as in a "push" system). EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) is a method of exchanging business documents electronically, EOQ (Economic Order Quantity) is a formula used to determine the optimal amount of inventory to order, and ABC (Activity-Based Costing) is a method of allocating costs based on the activities that drive them. None of these are "pull" systems of production and inventory control.
