Answer 1

Answer:

Letter C is correct. Just in time management.

Explanation:

The just in time management system corresponds to a system whose focus is the elimination of waste in organizational processes, so its fundamental principle is lean production according to demand, so that there is greater speed and there is no stock formation and so that the product reaches the consumer in the right place at the right time.

This management system is very advantageous because it promotes the continuous improvement of organizational processes, in addition to reducing losses resulting from waste, which generates several benefits for a company, such as increasing the speed of the production process and reducing inventory costs, which generates a positive consequence in the entire production chain.
