Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

UPC (Universal Product Code) provides a unique identification number for each product, making it easier to track inventory, sales, and pricing. This significantly enhances the automatic identification of products. JIT processing (B) is a manufacturing strategy that aims to produce goods just in time to meet demand, but it is not directly related to product identification. Manually prepared price tags (C) and transaction tagging with manufacturer's inventory control numbers (D) are also not as efficient as UPC in terms of automatic identification.
