Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Just-in-time inventory is a crucial aspect of lean manufacturing, which emphasizes the elimination of waste, reduction of lead times, and continuous improvement throughout the entire production process. Adopting a lean manufacturing system would align with the production manager's goal of applying the same principles to the entire production process. Master production scheduling, manufacturing resource planning, and computer-integrated manufacturing are all valuable systems but are not specifically focused on just-in-time inventory and lean principles.
