Question

The chief executive officer (CEO) of Ozark Industries has just returned from a management seminar describing the benefits of the just-in-time philosophy. The CEO issued the following statement after returning from the conference: This company will become a just-in-time manufacturing company. Presently, we have too much inventory. To become just-in-time, we need to eliminate the excess inventory. Therefore, I want all employees to begin reducing inventories until we are just-in-time. Thank you for your cooperation. All of the following are accurate responses to counter the CEO's misunderstandings about the benefits of the just-in-time philosophy except for: To achieve just-in-time, the company must remove the reasons for excess inventory rather than just reduce the inventory. If the employees follow the CEO's orders without making the process improvements, the plant will likely suffer reduced productivity. The CEO has not provided the training or action plan for moving to just-in-time, but instead commanded it be done. JIT emphasizes push manufacturing.
