I feel pretty confident about this one. The key characteristic of flow manufacturing is the dedicated work centers, so I'm going to select B.

I'm a bit confused by this question. The options all seem plausible to me. I'll have to make an educated guess and hope for the best.

Okay, let me see. I know flow manufacturing is about continuous production, so I'm guessing the answer has to do with the production process being streamlined and efficient. I'll go with C.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I'll have to think it through carefully. Maybe I should review my notes on flow manufacturing first.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused by the wording here. I'm not sure what "standardized" and "flexible" mean in this context. I'll have to think about it more.

I guess rerouting everything through the PSTN sounds drastic, but wouldn't that lead to higher costs? I think we should keep the calls on the WAN if we can.

Okay, let's see. Capacity overbuilding is likely when management is focused on something other than the actual production needs. I'll go with C. Production.
