Before attempting the exercise, click here to read the Mutual Insurance Company of lowa case study. Which of the following would you not expect the Claims Processing Department at MICI to experience once the new JIT system is in place? O A. Increased flow time B. Reduced floor space O C.

(Assume 5 working days per week.) (Note that for a system in steady state, inventory (WIP) = flow rate x flow time.) O A. 250,000 O B. 25,000 OC. 2,500 OD. 125,000 The switch to the new JIT system should result in all except which of the following? O A. Less idle workers OB. More specialized workers O C.
