1. Explain how a just-in-time (JIT) inventory will be part of the lean production system.

2. Include an explanation of how you anticipate JIT would help the company's subassembly area as well as an explanation of what impact these actions would have on the objectives established.

Tips and Tricks

- Explain how a just-in-time (JIT) inventory system fits into a lean production system and how it could improve the bottleneck in the subassembly area. You should explain that cross training and standard work would add consistency and improve efficiency as well as improve quality. You should also articulate that lower inventory levels and shorter setup times would facilitate a continuous flow and allow manufacturing to focus on the work causing the bottleneck.
