I think it's more about C, over-production is a big issue too.

Wait, are they really going to manage without any inventory? Sounds risky!

I’m a bit confused, but I recall that transportation waste is about moving things around unnecessarily. This seems more focused on having the right amount of inventory.

I practiced a similar question last week, and I think it was about reducing waste in production. I feel like inventory is definitely a big part of that.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about over-production being a waste too. Maybe that's related to how they manage their supply chain?

I think this question is about lean principles, and if they're only getting components when needed, it sounds like they're trying to eliminate excess inventory.

I'm pretty confident this is about reducing over-production. The lean model is all about producing only what's needed, when it's needed, so that eliminates the waste of making more than the customer requires.

Okay, I've got this. The question is asking about the specific waste that's being eliminated by the just-in-time delivery system, and that would be inventory. Receiving components only when needed reduces the amount of excess inventory sitting around.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know lean manufacturing focuses on reducing waste, but I'm not totally clear on the different types of waste. I'll have to think this through carefully.

This seems like a straightforward question about lean manufacturing principles. I think the key is to identify which of the common "wastes" is being addressed by the just-in-time delivery approach.

C) Over-production seems like the obvious answer here. Agile Cars is trying to eliminate waste by only producing what's needed, when it's needed.

Definitely D) Inventory. Agile Cars is using a just-in-time delivery system to avoid excess inventory, which is a classic lean manufacturing principle.
