Forget the exam, I just want to know where I can get my hands on some of those beauty products. Asking for a friend, of course.

C) Demand capacity planning sounds like the way to go here. Gotta plan that capacity based on the predicted demand from the marketing team.

I'd go with B) Chase capacity planning. Seems like they need to be able to adjust their production to match the temporary spike in demand.

Optimised production technology could be beneficial in the long run, but for the immediate spike in demand, I think B) Chase capacity planning is the best option.
