Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

JIT prevents long runs of defects, which means that defective products are caught early and can be addressed before they become a bigger problem. This reduces the cost of quality because it is cheaper to fix a problem early on rather than after it has become widespread in inventory. Option A is incorrect because JIT actually seeks to eliminate inventory, not hide costs within it. Option B is incorrect because JIT seeks to minimize buffers in the system to reduce waste.
