I feel like increasing inventory days of supply might lead to inefficiencies, but I can't remember if that was a focus in our studies.

Increasing cash-to-cash cycle time seems counterintuitive, but I can't recall if it was ever mentioned as a key performance indicator.

I remember practicing a question about inventory turnover, and I think decreasing it is definitely not a good goal for logistics.

I'm a little confused by the options. Increasing cash-to-cash cycle time and decreasing inventory turnover don't sound like good goals. I'll have to eliminate those and focus on the other two.

I think option C is the way to go here. The initial study has already laid the groundwork, so we can skip the baseline architecture definition and focus on defining the target architecture in a structured way. This will ensure we address all the requirements and can then move on to transition planning.
