ITPEC FE Morning October 2022 Question 71
ITPEC FE Morning October 2022 — Question 71 of 80
The Kanban (JIT) system is a pull-based production approach where each process procures
parts from the previous process only when needed, with the explicit goal of minimizing
intermediate stock (work-in-progress inventory).
Why not others:
- (a) Describes standardization/unification of parts specifications — unrelated to JIT
- (c) Describes supplier selection strategy (affiliated companies) — not a JIT principle
- (d) Describes competitive bidding among suppliers — a procurement strategy, not JIT
Key rule: JIT = pull system — parts are pulled from the previous process on demand,
not pushed by a production schedule; the goal is minimum intermediate inventory.
