A logistics practice that involves delivering parts to factories moments before they are needed

• A. Lean Delivery
• B. Just-in-Time Delivery
• C. Just-in-Case Delivery
• D. Buffer Stock Delivery

Answer: (B)

The main idea being tested is delivering parts exactly when production needs them to minimize inventory and waste. Just-in-Time Delivery delivers components to the factory at the precise moment they are required on the line, enabling a smooth, continuous flow with little or no extra stock. This minimizes carrying costs and reduces the risk of obsolescence, but it relies on reliable suppliers, accurate scheduling, and tight process control. It matches the description of delivering moments before they are needed. Lean Delivery focuses on reducing waste in general and doesn’t specify timing so exact; Just-in-Case Delivery involves stocking extra inventory to cushion variability, which increases stock levels; Buffer Stock Delivery also implies keeping additional stock as a buffer. So the practice described best aligns with Just-in-Time Delivery.
