Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Just-in-time production techniques require a high degree of cooperation and coordination between supplier and manufacturer to ensure that materials and products are delivered exactly when needed, without excess inventory or waste. This approach was first developed and implemented in Japan by companies like Toyota and later adopted by U.S. manufacturers. Inventory buffers between work centers are not necessary in JIT production, and the goal is not to produce goods for inventory, but rather to meet customer demand precisely and efficiently.
