Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A characteristic of a JIT partnership is the removal of incoming inspection. This is because suppliers are expected to deliver high-quality parts and components, and any deviation from specifications can lead to disruptions in the production process. By eliminating incoming inspection, the supplier is fully responsible for ensuring the quality of their products, and this helps to foster trust and collaboration between the buyer and the supplier. None of the other options listed are characteristics of a typical JIT partnership.
