Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Perceptions commonly associated with JIT include (2) and (4), which describe it as a Lean production process and a sophisticated Pull system, respectively. (1) and (3) are not typically seen as accurate descriptions of JIT. JIT is not simply a variant of a conventional reorder-point system (1), but rather a comprehensive approach to eliminating waste and optimizing production flow. Similarly, JIT does not require a fixed lot size, as it aims to produce only what is necessary in the moment, rather than creating excess inventory that may not be needed (3). Therefore, the best choice is B, only option (3) is not commonly associated with JIT.
