Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

JIT philosophy focuses on minimizing waste and maximizing efficiency by producing only what is needed, when it is needed. Maintaining inventories, on the other hand, is seen as a waste of resources and can cover up poor work or other problems. Therefore, C is the best choice. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because JIT philosophy emphasizes smaller lot sizes and flow manufacturing to achieve efficiency, rather than maintaining inventories of finished goods, push-through manufacturing flows or long production runs with large production lot sizes.
