JIT requires a stable production level. When compared to synchronous manufacturing, this is viewed as a negative aspect of JIT.
Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)
True
Comparing JIT to synchronous manufacturing, JIT does an excellent job in reducing lead times and work-in-process, but it has several drawbacks:
1. JIT is limited to repetitive manufacturing.
2. JIT requires a stable production level (usually about a month long).
3. JIT does not allow very much flexibility in the products produced.
4. JIT still requires work-in-process when used with kanban so that there is "something to pull."
5. Vendors need to be located nearby because the system depends on smaller, more frequent deliveries.
