Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Decentralization results in greater speed in making operating decisions because they are made by lower-level managers instead of being referred to top management. The quality of operating decisions should also be enhanced, assuming proper training of managers, because those closest to the problems should be the most knowledgeable about them.

Locked doors on production areas? That's like asking the wolves to guard the henhouse. Unless you want your inventory to 'disappear', I'd say that's the way to go.

Voucher approval prior to paying accounts payable? Nah, that's just good financial hygiene. You don't want to be paying bills willy-nilly, even in a JIT system. I'm picking B.

Oh man, two signatures on large checks? That's just asking for trouble. Talk about bureaucratic red tape! I'm going with option C on this one.

I'm not too sure about this one. Prepation of hard copy receiving reports seems like a pretty standard internal control. Eliminating that would be a risky move, even in a JIT system.

Hmm, the elimination of locked doors on production areas seems like the most reasonable option here. It aligns with the 'just-in-time' philosophy of minimizing waste and maximizing efficiency.

But what about the need for accuracy and control? Maybe B) Voucher approval prior to paying accounts payable should still be in place.
