Selected Answer: C
Produce the current product family to order: This helps in aligning production with actual demand, reducing the risk of excess inventory for the existing product family. Produce the new product family to forecast: Since there are no competitors with nationwide distribution for this category of soft drinks, the company can use forecasting to estimate the demand for the new product family. This allows for a proactive approach to meet anticipated demand.

It should be A, how can you introduce a new fast moving product [drink / food] is your SC model is based on make-to-order. It doesn't make sense... No one will buy it if they have to wait
