D) Flow, no doubt. The only way I'd have WIP issues is if I tried to make the entire inventory at once, like some kind of WIP hoarder or something!

I was debating between C) Batch and D) Flow, but you're right, D) Flow is the way to go. Who wants to deal with all that WIP in a batch process, am I right?

I agree, batch processes can be a headache with all that inventory hanging around.

Hmm, I was leaning towards B) Intermittent, but D) Flow makes more sense. The continuous nature of flow production would naturally reduce WIP.

I think the answer is D) Flow. In a flow process, the product moves continuously through the production stages, minimizing WIP inventory.

I'm not sure, but I think A) Project processes may also have low WIP inventory.
