It's a tough call. I agree with though. High volume needs clear production flow.

Hmm, 'Determining raw material requirements' also seems key. No materials, no production.

You both raise good points. I think 'Managing process stages' can't be overlooked either.

But wouldn't 'Forecasting end item demands' be more critical? Knowing demand drives everything.

Totally. I'm leaning towards 'Determining production flow rates'. High volume, narrow mix.
