Even though you had accurately informed your teams of the number of products you would need to have ready to sell at a local expo, you find out that you don’t have enough of the product in stock to meet those numbers. Given that communication isn’t an issue, which department is most responsible for this error?%0D%0A%0D%0A(1 point)%0D%0AResponses%0D%0A%0D%0Amarketing%0D%0A%0D%0Amarketing%0D%0A%0D%0Asales%0D%0A%0D%0Asales%0D%0A%0D%0Aproduction%0D%0A%0D%0Aproduction%0D%0A%0D%0Ahuman resources

In this scenario, the most responsible department for the error would be production. While marketing and sales may have accurately communicated the need for a certain number of products, it is the production department that is responsible for ensuring that the necessary inventory is manufactured and available for sale. If there was a shortfall in stock despite clear communication of needs, it indicates a failure in production planning or execution.
