ComPulsory Question

17. Would you order a delivery pizza for dinner from a restaurant advertising delivery in 6
hours? How about a restaurant that can bring you a cold, stale pizza in only 5 minutes?
To meet the consumer's needs, the pizza shop must be able to give customers the
number of pizzas they want when they want :t. Prepar:ng pizzas in advance is too
wasteful because most consumers are rot likely to buy a stale pizza. Meanwhile, if you
take too long to deliver the pizza, you will lose customers to a more responsive
competitor The concept ofjust-ln-time focuses on making what you need to meet
customer demand only when you need it. For a pizza delivery shop, that probably means
a fresh pizza at the customer's door in around 30 minutes. This philosophy can apply to a
range of operations, trom simply washing a car to manufacturing a complex aircraft.
Explain the concept of lean manufacturing with respect to the above exarnples?
