I feel like F is crucial since continuous improvement is a big part of both JIT and TQM. It seems like a safe bet to include.

I remember practicing a similar question where operations had to focus on minimizing waste. So, I feel like B is a strong choice here.

I think A and D are definitely related to JIT and TQM, but I'm not entirely sure if C fits in with the support activities.

I think the key here is to focus on the support activities that would directly enable JIT and TQM. Inbound logistics and operations seem like the clear choices to me. Ensuring quality materials and right-first-time production are critical for these initiatives.

I'm a bit confused on this one. There are a few options that seem relevant, like operations and technology development. But I'm not confident I can pick the two most appropriate changes. Guess I'll have to think it through carefully.

Okay, I've got this. Inbound logistics and procurement would both need to be adjusted to ensure materials and goods are delivered on a just-in-time basis. That's a no-brainer.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm not entirely sure which two support activities would be the most appropriate changes. I'll need to carefully consider each option and think about how they relate to JIT and TQM.

This question is asking about changes to the support activities in the value chain to support JIT and TQM. I think the key is to identify which support activities would need to be modified to enable just-in-time delivery and total quality management.

E, because who doesn't love a good mandatory training session? Might as well make a day of it with some trust falls and team-building exercises.
