Surprised that flow manufacturing isn't the answer!
CE

I practiced a similar question, and I think project manufacturing is the best fit here, but I'm a bit confused about intermittent manufacturing.
DA
Daren

I feel like flow manufacturing is more about mass production, so that can't be right.
TE
Telma

I thought it was intermittent manufacturing?
JE
Jessenia

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about intermittent manufacturing being used for smaller batches too.
AL
Alex

Definitely project manufacturing for small units!
DE
Derick

Not sure about that, isn't intermittent also for small runs?
AN
Angelyn

Yeah, project manufacturing makes the most sense here.
MI

I think the answer might be C, project manufacturing, since it usually involves creating unique items.

I'm a little unsure here. I know the different manufacturing systems have to do with things like production volume and flow, but I'm not totally clear on the specifics. I think I'll eliminate the options that are clearly not about single-unit or small-batch production, and then make my best guess between the remaining choices.

Okay, I've got this. The key is that the question is asking about the system that involves creating one unit or a small number of units. That sounds like project manufacturing to me, where each product is essentially a custom project. I'm confident C is the right answer.
BL
Blondell

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on this one. I know the different manufacturing systems involve things like flow, continuous, and intermittent production, but I'm not totally sure which one is for single units or small batches. I'll have to think this through carefully.
FE
Felicidad

I'm pretty sure this is asking about the manufacturing system that involves producing one unit or a small number of units. I think the answer is C, project manufacturing.
IV
Ivette

I feel pretty confident about this one. The key is that the question is asking about the manufacturing system that involves creating one unit or a small number of units. That sounds like Intermittent manufacturing to me, so I'm going with B.
JA
Janet

Okay, let me see. Flow manufacturing is for high-volume production, continuous manufacturing is for non-stop production, and project manufacturing is for custom, one-off products. So I'm guessing the answer is B, Intermittent manufacturing, since that fits the description of creating a small number of units.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I know the different manufacturing systems have specific characteristics, but I'm having trouble remembering the details. I'll have to think this through carefully.
TA

This one seems pretty straightforward. I think the answer is B - Intermittent manufacturing, since that involves creating one unit or a small number of units.
TE
Tequila

Wait, they're not asking about the number of units I can afford. I thought this was a question about my manufacturing budget!
MA
Marsha

C has got to be the answer. I mean, who else would want to manufacture just one unit? That's like buying a one-of-a-kind Picasso painting.
DA
Danica

That makes sense, it's like a unique piece of art.
ST
Starr

I agree, Project manufacturing involves creating one unit or a small number of units.
BA
Barney

C has got to be the answer.
RO

Wait, what if the factory is located in the customer's living room? That would really minimize scheduling problems!
SA

I think in that case, project manufacturing would be the best option.
SA

That would be a unique setup for sure!
GI
Gilberto

That makes sense, I see your point. Thanks for sharing your rationale.
MI
Mireya

I disagree, I believe it's C) Project manufacturing because it involves creating a small number of units for a specific project.
JU
Jutta
1 year ago
Hmm, I'm not sure. Maybe A? Flow manufacturing can also involve producing a small number of units, like custom-built cars.
AL
Alyssa

Definitely B. Intermittent manufacturing is all about producing small batches or individual units, not the continuous mass production of option D.
YO
Yoko

Hold up, guys. What if the factory just pays for the transportation and handling? Then it's clearly A. Enterprise resources planning is the way to go!
DE
Denna

Wait, what about D) Continuous manufacturing? Could that be it?
GI
Giovanna

Actually, I agree with the first person. It's A) Flow manufacturing.
AN
Annmarie

No way, it's definitely C) Project manufacturing.
PA
Pansy

I think it's B) Intermittent manufacturing.
MA

I think D) customer relations management is important too, as it focuses on building relationships with customers.
SO
Soledad

D. Customer relations management is the obvious choice here. Gotta keep those customers happy, you know?
TO
Toi

I think option C is the correct answer. Project manufacturing involves the creation of one unit or a small number of units, like building a custom yacht or a skyscraper.
KE
Keva

I'm not sure, but I think A) enterprise resources planning could also be a valid option.
GI
Gilberto
2 years ago
I think the answer is B) Intermittent manufacturing.
SH
Sherita
2 years ago
Hmm, I'm not sure. B sounds like it could also work, since distribution and inventory management are key to customer service and cost minimization.
CH
Christene

D) Continuous manufacturing seems more focused on mass production rather than creating one unit.
TO
Tomas

C) Project manufacturing might also involve creating a small number of units for specific projects.
SH
