Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Georgia should advise the production and purchasing departments to produce or order smaller quantities of products based on the information that building permits are down. This will help the company to manage inventory levels and avoid excess stock that may not sell due to the slowdown. Pushing customers to buy products they don't need (A) is not ethical and may harm the company's reputation. Assisting customers in product recall confirmations (C) is not relevant to the situation at hand. Avoiding contact with competing firms (D) may limit the company's ability to adapt and respond to market changes. Estimating profit per sale (E) is important, but not as crucial as managing inventory levels in response to the slowdown.
