Which of the following represents the difference between a just-in-time (JIT) and a traditional manufacturing process?

a.In a traditional manufacturing process, processing functions are combined into manufacturing cells, whereas in a JIT manufacturing process, products move from process to process as each function or step is completed.

b.The objective of a traditional manufacturing process is to increase the efficiency of operations, whereas the objective of a JIT manufacturing process is to keep all the manufacturing processes operating.

c.In a traditional manufacturing process, a worker typically performs only one function, whereas in a JIT manufacturing process, a worker is often cross-trained to perform more than one function.

d.In a traditional manufacturing process, service activities are assigned to individual work centers, whereas in a JIT manufacturing process, they are assigned to centralized service departments.
