Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement "ways to expand the number of different products that can be made by a specific set of resources" (option A) and "ways to expand the number of resources that can make a class of products" (option C) both point towards the need for P/OM to find ways to efficiently utilize available resources. By expanding the variety of products that can be made by a particular set of resources or by increasing the number of resources that can produce a particular class of products, P/OM can optimize resource utilization and enhance the effectiveness of aggregate-planning methods. Therefore, the best choice is D, i.e., both a and c. Option E (both a and b) is not valid as option B is not relevant to the statement.
