In a three-to four-page paper, discuss just-in-time (JIT) as a process of lean production and inventory control. Be sure to address the following topics supported with examples to demonstrate your understanding of these ideas.
• Discuss the concept of push versus pull, addressing how it relates to just-in-time and explaining how lean manufacturing is the basis for just-in-time.
• Analyze the difference between a just-in-time system and a kanban system.
• Analyze whether just-in-time can be implemented without kanban. Explain why or why not in detail.
