Trial and error? Isn't that just the strategy I use for life in general? I'm putting C. Chase down and hoping for the best.

I'm going to go with B. Constant. That way, if I mess up, I can just keep trying different constant rates until I find the right one. Easy peasy!

A. Level seems like it would be the least effective for trial and error. I'm going with C. Chase on this one.

Hmm, I'm not sure. Could it be D. Mixed? That sounds like it would involve a bit of trial and error to find the right balance.

Actually, it's not D. Mixed. The most effective production planning strategy that involves trial and error is A) Level.

I think the answer is C. Chase. That's the one where you try to match production to demand, right? Seems like trial and error would be the way to go there.
