Just-in-time manufacturing aims to reduce waste and improve efficiency by minimizing the transfer time, i.e., the time it takes for a product to move from one stage of production to another, and the cycle time, i.e., the time it takes to complete one full production cycle. This is achieved by having value-added time, i.e., the time spent on actual processing or manufacturing, as the dominant factor in the process. Therefore, a just-in-time process should have less transfer time and cycle time but more value-added time compared to a traditional manufacturing process. Choice C is the only option that reflects this characteristic of JIT.
