JIT system

ARAakarsh Rauniyar4y ago
F5 mock questions Which of the following are usually elements of a JIT system? (i) Machine cells (ii) Inventory only held at the bottleneck resource (iii) Close relationship with major suppliers (iv) Multi-skilled labour A (i), (ii) and (iii) only B (i), (iii) and (iv) only C (i) and (iii) only D All of the above What's the correct answer? As far I am concerned, close relations with supplier is needed and also multi skilled workers in order to deliver goods on time. What about others two options? I have no idea as neither bpp or kaplan covers this topic in detail.

Why are you attempting questions for which you do not have an answer? You should be using a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA Approved Publishers. The answer is A. Machine cells provide flexibility.

No, you are wrong. The answer is B. I checked the answers. And I am asking you because I don't understand the explanation. It's very brief. It just states these are the features of JIT system. And it's a part of syllabus and revision kit doesn't even have a single question on it. Why shouldn't I attempt mock questions huh?

It is indeed B. I meant to type (i) and not A as an answer to your question. (iii) and (iv) are correct as you stated in your post. (i) is correct as I stated in my reply. (ii) is not correct because from your studies of throughput accounting you will know that ideally there is no inventory held. I don't know who told you not to attempt mock questions - it wasn't me. What I asked was why you were attempting questions for which you did not have an answer (I assumed that you are asking me because you did not have the answer!!). I do not write the revision kits and so I cannot say why they don't have certain questions.
