The Chief Executive of a large manufacturing company has made the following comment.

CIMA P2 Question Answer

"All of our competitors are using both just-in-time(JIT) and Total Quality Management (TQM) whereas we have never used either. Consequently we are lagging behind our competitors because their levels of inventory and quality costs are significantly below ours. I want to see JIT fully implemented, both for purchasing and for production, in 4 weeks' time and TQM fully implemented 4 weeks after that."

Which of the following provide appropriate advice to the Chief Executive?

Select ALL that apply.

Full implementation of JIT is unlikely to be successful unless a TQM environment has first been established.

Implementing TQM from scratch within 8 weeks should be feasible for a large manufacturing company, but implementing JIT within 4 weeks is unlikely to be feasible.

Total quality costs are likely to begin declining immediately once the process of implementing TQM has commenced.

JIT offers the long run prospect of significantly reducing inventory.

It would be possible to implement TQM without implementing JIT.

It is not possible to implement JIT for production without first implementing JIT for purchasing.
