Option D, the ol' 'all of the above' choice. It's like a buffet of production planning goodies. What could go wrong?

Forecasts, backlogs, and desired endings - sounds like a recipe for a production masterplan. Gotta love the complexity of it all!

Ah, the joys of make-to-order. I'll take D - all of these. You need to have your ducks in a row to keep those customers happy.

I'm not sure, but it makes sense that we would need all those factors to create a production plan for make-to-order products.

I agree with Sherron. We need forecasts, opening backlogs, and desired ending backlog for make-to-order production planning.

Hmm, this one's a tricky one. I guess we need all of those things to plan for make-to-order production. Gotta have that crystal ball to see the future orders, you know?
