Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Just-in-time inventory system is a key component of lean manufacturing. Therefore, it makes sense for the production manager to suggest the adoption of a lean manufacturing system to apply the same principles to the entire production process. A lean manufacturing system aims to eliminate waste and increase efficiency by incorporating just-in-time inventory, continuous improvement, and other principles into the manufacturing process. The other options, such as master production scheduling, manufacturing resource planning, and computer-integrated manufacturing, do not necessarily align with the principles of just-in-time inventory and may not be as effective in eliminating waste and increasing efficiency.
