Classic Cars, Inc

Classic Cars, Inc., produces reproduction parts for older automobiles in a sequential process involving four departments: cutting, shaping, painting and finishing, and packaging. Labor time available in the shaping department exerts a limiting constraint on the output of the company. A principal aim of just-in-time management at Classic Cars would be to balance the flow of work through the four departments so as to:

A) Minimize the accumulation of raw material and finished goods inventories.
B) Stabilize inventory turnover.
C) Accurately account for work-in-process inventories.
D) Minimize delivery times of finished goods to customers.
