Answer:

d. Change to a just-in-time inventory system and make the shoes as they are ordered rather than making and storing many shoes and hoping to sell them.

Explanation:

In the Just-in-time inventory management system, materials purchased go straight to the production line. The business keeps minimum or nil raw material in its stores. Demand for goods guides the production process.

Should Alfredo manufactures adopt a Just in time production style, its inventory budgetary requirement will significantly reduce. Alfredo will be ordering for material need for production at that moment. The company will be manufacturing shoes that customers are ready to buy. Its cost of finished inventory will also decrease.

For Just-in-time system  to work well at Alfredo, managers must learn how to predict demand accurately and employ an excellent order management system
