I agree with The statement is true because if we have idle time on operation A, it can lead to inefficiencies in the production process.

I see both points. It really depends on the specific production setup and how the operations are interconnected.

I disagree, I believe it's false. Just because B is faster doesn't mean we need a larger batch for A. It depends on the overall process flow.

I think the statement is true because if operation B is faster, we need to make sure operation A doesn't have any idle time.
