D) Make-to-stock? More like 'Make-to-get-stuck-with-a-bunch-of-unsold-inventory'! C) Assemble-to-order is the way to go, my friends.

I'm torn between B) Make-to-order and C) Assemble-to-order. Hmm, maybe I should just flip a coin and hope for the best.

Make-to-order allows for customization while Assemble-to-order offers some level of standardization. It really depends on your customer base.

Definitely not D) Make-to-stock, that's way too inflexible for a market that's so dependent on customer preferences. I'm leaning towards C) Assemble-to-order.
