Which of the following are features of dependent demand items of stock?

They depend on the production levels of the user departments

They depend on the production capacity of the supplier

They can be managed using JIT (Just-in-Time) systems

They become obsolete within a short time

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Dependent demand items rely on the internal production requirements of an organization. These items:

Depend on user department production levels: Demand is driven by the needs of the production line.

Can be managed using JIT systems: Just-in-Time inventory helps optimize stock levels based on immediate production needs, reducing holding costs and minimizing waste.

Dependent demand items differ from independent demand items, where demand is customer-driven rather than production-driven, emphasizing demand predictability and timely procurement.

Haha, I bet the supplier's production capacity is as reliable as a 50-year-old jalopy! But yeah, I'd go with D too.

But dependent demand items are based on user departments and can be managed using JIT systems, so I still think C is correct.

D seems more accurate to me. Dependent demand items depend on both the production levels of the user departments and the production capacity of the supplier.
