A lighting fixture producer has a problem with long throughput times.

A lighting fixture producer has a problem with long throughput times. Which is the best option for process simplification and throughput-time reduction?

a. longer production runs (more units) of each model of fixture
b. dedicate a scarcely used stampling machine to the largest selling model of light fixture
c. keep dies for the stamping machines, paint for the paint lines, etc… under tight control in a lockable central stores room.
d. concentrate on labor efficiency of assembly people rather than on modifying machine setup methods.

I believe the answer is either D or A not completely sure
