Question text
Toyota gradually shifted away from the tenet of lean manufacturing. Seeking cost leadership and
market leadership has gone too far, and differentiation through quality, reliability and fuel efficiency
becomes blurred. The execution of such business strategy the past few years has lured Toyota to rush
into relationships with suppliers it has not adequately vetted and to apply questionable security
measures as it sourced parts from all around the world. Given Toyota’s current problems with their
suppliers, it might be worthwhile to keep more inventory on hand to avoid stock-out situations. There
are however disadvantages of keeping too much inventory. Which one of the following is a
disadvantage of keeping too much inventory?
Select one:
a.
More urgent orders.
b.
Higher unit prices.
c.
Operating capital is tied-up.
d.
Lost sales.
