ITPEC IP October 2021 Question 81
ITPEC IP October 2021 — Question 81 of 100
Just-in-time production supplies only the required items, in the required quantity, at the required time in response to downstream demand. This pull-based flow reduces work in process, finished-goods inventory, storage cost, and waste between production stages.
Answer (a)
Why not others:
- cell production groups equipment and workers around a product family
- build-to-stock produces in anticipation of forecast demand
- lot production manufactures items in batches and can create intermediate inventory
Key rule: JIT uses downstream demand to pull materials through the process instead of producing ahead and pushing inventory forward.
