Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The system described in the scenario, where parts are delivered just before they are needed in the assembly process, is characteristic of just-in-time inventory control. This system is designed to minimize inventory costs and waste by ensuring that parts are delivered only when they are needed, rather than being stored in inventory for extended periods of time. Efficient consumer response, total quality management, zero-defect management, and material requirements planning are not specifically related to the scenario described.
