Wait, what if the factory is located in the customer's living room? That would really minimize scheduling problems!

I disagree, I believe it's C) Project manufacturing because it involves creating a small number of units for a specific project.

Hmm, I'm not sure. Maybe A? Flow manufacturing can also involve producing a small number of units, like custom-built cars.

Definitely B. Intermittent manufacturing is all about producing small batches or individual units, not the continuous mass production of option D.

Hold up, guys. What if the factory just pays for the transportation and handling? Then it's clearly A. Enterprise resources planning is the way to go!

I think D) customer relations management is important too, as it focuses on building relationships with customers.

D. Customer relations management is the obvious choice here. Gotta keep those customers happy, you know?

I think option C is the correct answer. Project manufacturing involves the creation of one unit or a small number of units, like building a custom yacht or a skyscraper.
