I practiced a similar question, and I feel like changing the production plan, like in option C, might be necessary to balance everything out.

I’m not entirely sure, but I remember something about the demand time fence. Maybe option D could be a good choice if it's within that timeframe?

I feel like we did a practice question where the routing file had some of these details, but I can't recall specifically if it included move and wait times.
