Just-in-time processing is a business philosophy that focuses on reducing time & cost & eliminating poor quality. this is accomplished in manufacturing & non-manufacturing processes by: a) moving a product from process to process as each function is completed. b) combining processing functions into work centers & cross-training workers to perform more than one function. c) having production supervisors attempt to enter enough materials into manufacturing to keep all manufacturing departments operating. d) having workers typically perform one function on a continuous basis.

B) combining processing functions into work centers & cross-training workers to perform more than one function.
