Lean systems aim to reduce waste, use visual controls, and enable quick changeovers. However, lean systems do not prioritize output matching to a detailed forecast, as this can lead to overproduction and excess inventory. Similarly, long production runs can lead to excess inventory and inflexibility in responding to changing demand. Therefore, the correct option is B as both II and V are not commonly found in lean systems.
