Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Just-in-time systems require suppliers who can provide materials and components on short notice and with minimal lead time. Therefore, the supplier base must be capable of meeting these requirements, reliable in terms of quality and delivery, and physically close to minimize transportation time and cost. Inventory management and supply management can also benefit from a capable and reliable supplier base, but they do not have the same emphasis on proximity and quick delivery as just-in-time systems.
