Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lean production and just-in-time manufacturing focus on reducing waste and improving efficiency in the manufacturing process. This can result in higher product quality as a result of reduced defects, lower inventory levels, and more streamlined production processes. While it may result in reduced manufacturing flexibility and limited raw material inventory, these consequences are typically outweighed by the benefits of increased product quality, lower costs, and improved customer satisfaction. Therefore, option D, Increased product quality, is the best choice.
