Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The switch to running a mixed-model assembly, with batches of 5 As, 3 Bs, and 1 C every half day, indicates a shift towards producing smaller batches with more variety. This is characteristic of mixed-model assembly, which allows for greater efficiency and flexibility in production by allowing for multiple products to be manufactured on the same line. The other options (A, B, and D) do not provide a clear explanation for the change in production style.
