But B) make-to-stock could fit too. It’s about inventory.

Heijunka? More like "hey, June, can you level out this production for me?" Am I right, or am I right?

D) produce to stock production. Really? Heijunka is the opposite of that. It's all about producing what's needed, not just piling up inventory.

B) make-to-stock production. Nah, that's not it. Heijunka is about producing to customer demand, not just stockpiling inventory.

I feel like I’ve seen heijunka described as a strategy to avoid fluctuations in production, which sounds like A to me, but I could be mixing it up with something else.

I’m confused because I thought heijunka was more about making to stock, but that might be a different concept.

Ugh, I'm drawing a blank on the specifics of heijunka. Is it about producing to stock or chasing demand? I'll have to guess on this one and hope for the best.
