Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

JIT (Just-In-Time) concept is based on a Pull system, where products are pulled through the system only as needed, in response to customer demand. This helps in reducing inventory and the associated costs of holding inventory, as well as reducing lead times and improving response times to changes in demand. In a Push system, products are pushed through the system based on production schedules or forecasts, irrespective of actual demand, which can lead to excess inventory and waste. Aggregation and stockpiling are not integral to the JIT concept, whereas Pull and Push are contrasting approaches to managing the flow of products through a system.
