Answer to Question 1

Answer: D
Explanation: A) Incorrect. Inactive is not a stress coping strategy.
B) Incorrect. A proactive strategy is one in which the individual initiates actions that resist the negative effects of stress (e.g., beginning an exercise regimen).
C) Incorrect. A reactive strategy is one in which the individual is an on-the-spot remedy designed to temporarily reduce the immediate reaction to a stressor (e.g., deep breathing exercises).
D) Correct. Enactive strategies attempt to create a new environment that does not contain the stressor.

Answer to Question 2

A form of JIT systems is kanban. It uses cards to generate inventory. Inputs are shipped to manufacturers in containers with a card in a side pocket. Upon receipt, the card is removed and returned to the supplier. An electronic kanban system uses a scanner to read in a code on a container. Rather than having this information on a physical card, the information is sent electronically to the upstream supplier and the problem of lost cards is eliminated.
