Drawing on the reading and the lecture, respond to the following:
What considerations need to be taken into account when balancing the need for sufficient stock and necessary changes in packaging with the need for additional space going forward? Create a list of at least 3 considerations, drawing on the lecture and the reading.
Post your list in the discussion. Then respond to another’s post and order their list from the highest-priority to the lowest-priority considerations, and explain your ranking.
