    The correct answer is A) the physical infrastructure in Borneo is weak.

    Explanation:

    The JIT is an inventory management system that was developed in Japan in the 1980s with the automaker, Toyota, as the star of this production process. It did not take long to see it extended in Japan and, as at that time the big companies had a lot of competition and many expenses and the need to reduce these, these practices quickly extended further.

    As under JIT, the level of supplies that are maintained for manufacturing are at their minimum levels, it is important to be very organized to avoid failures, suspensions and delays due to lack of components or supplies to complete the productive step.
