Albert Wallace · Answer 1

The correct answer is C

Explanation:

JIT termed or stand for the Just in Time Inventory, it is a strategy or the plan of action, which is to increase the efficiency and decrease the waste through receiving the goods only as they are required in the process of the production, thereby decreasing the inventory costs.

So, the costs of the obsolescence, inventory financing and storage supervision could be decreased through the practice of the JIT (Just-in-time inventory).
