At a meeting, the CEO asks the Operations Manager to consider shifting from an intermittent production process to a continuous production process to increase output and profit. Which of the following would be the best response?

A) This is not a good idea. We are better suited to utilize an intermittent process so that we can continue to manufacture different products as needed.
B) This is a great idea. If we use a continuous process, it will be easier to utilize a synthetic transformation process.
C) This is a great idea. Businesses that utilize a continuous production process are nearly always more profitable than those using intermittent processes. This is due to increased output.
