Chapter 27--Cost Management for Just-In-Time Environments Key
1. Just-in-Time (JIT) manufacturing focuses on reducing time, cost, and poor quality in processes.
2. The just-in-time (JIT) philosophy views inventory as a necessary buffer to protect against process problems.
3. The just-in-time (JIT) philosophy views inventory as an unnecessary waste of resources.
4. In the just-in-time (JIT) philosophy, unexpected downtime is the result of unreliable processes.
5. Lead time is the process time between start and completion.
6. All lead time are considered as value-added lead time.
7. Lead time includes both value-added time and non-value-added time.
8. Lead time reduction can be a cost-saving goal for any processed item.
9. Reducing wait time is not linked to reducing inventory.
10. Reducing wait time is directly linked to reducing inventory.
11. Just-in-Time (JIT) manufacturing favors organizing work around products rather than around processes.
12. Just-in-Time (JIT) manufacturing favors organizing work around processes rather than around products.
13. Employee involvement in a product-oriented factory emphasizes employee teams, rather than individual
employees.
14. A setup is the time required to prepare an operation for a new production run.
15. Long setups and large batch sizes result in smaller inventories.
16. Within-batch wait time increases total lead time.
17. Large batch sizes increase lead time.
18. Just-in-Time (JIT) manufacturing is also called make-to-stock manufacturing.
19. Just-in-Time (JIT) manufacturing is also called make-to-order manufacturing.

21. Make-to-order companies produce mainly to stock inventory.
22. Make-to-order companies typically produce in small batch sizes.
23. Maximum effectiveness and efficiency are reached when the just-in-time (JIT) philosophy is used only by
manufacturers.
24. Maximum effectiveness and efficiency are reached when the just-in-time (JIT) philosophy is used by both
manufacturers and their suppliers.

environment.
33. In a just-in-time (JIT) environment, process problems are more visible than they are in a traditional
environment.
34. Under the just-in-time production concept, employees are better utilized if they are experts in one operation
rather than wasting time training them to learn various production operations.
35. One inherent risk to using just-in-time philosophy is that companies are at higher risk of inventory shortage
during volatile times such as strikes, weather, etc. than the traditional philosophy.
36. In a just-in-time (JIT) environment, process problems are less visible than they are in a traditional
environment.

43. In a just-in-time (JIT) system, there are fewer transactions to record than there are in a traditional system.
44. In a just-in-time (JIT) system, direct labor is included in conversion costs.
45. In a just-in-time (JIT) system, indirect labor is traced directly to product cells.

step.
47. Financial accounting information is used more often for long-term operating decisions and non-financial
information is used more often for day-to-day decisions.
48. Non-financial accounting information is used more often for long-term operating decisions than is financial
information.
49. A non-financial measure is operating information that has not been translated into dollars.
50. In a just-in-time (JIT) environment, the journal entry to record raw materials purchases would include a
credit to the raw materials inventory account.
51. In a just-in-time (JIT) environment, the journal entry to record raw materials purchases would include a
debit to the raw and in process inventory account.
52. In a just-in-time (JIT) environment, the journal entry to record conversion costs would include a debit to the
raw and in process inventory account.
53. In a just-in-time (JIT) environment, the journal entry to record conversion costs would include a debit to the
manufacturing overhead control account.
54. The budgeted cell conversion cost rate is very similar to the predetermined factory rate because both include
only factory overhead costs.
55. A just-in-time non-manufacturing process can be accomplished by consolidating, in one area, all of the
services provided to a customer.
56. Costs of controlling quality include prevention costs and internal failure costs.
57. Prevention costs and appraisal costs are considered costs of controlling quality.
