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.
