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.

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.
