Explanation:

The just-in-time is popularly known as the JIT. The JIT inventory system is defined as a management strategy in which the company gets goods and products as close as when they are actually needed. Some goods are received 'just in time' at the processing or at the manufacturing time of the final product.

In the context, the data base system failed for Treston company as the new data base system did not support the database system for the suppliers as well as the distributors of the car manufacturing company, Treston.

It is true that by combining the intelligence of human and the reasoning capabilities with that of retrieval and the analysis of the technology, the visual analytics can help in the process of decision making.

In the distributed environment done online, performing the real-time analytical processes does not enhances the performance of the transaction processing. So the answer is false.

A scheduled report is a report that is sent out or delivered at a specified time by an email provider. They are produced to support the routine decisions at predefined intervals.

A Drill down reports helps to see the data for a more detailed and a comprehensive view. It helps to analyze that a key indicator is not the appropriate level.
