    The correct answer is b. setting equipment utilization goals below industry average.

    Explanation:

    A firm cannot achieve competitive advantage by setting its equipment utilization goals as this will not retain its customers.

    If a firm wants to achieve competitive advantage it can achieve it by;

    Addressing its customers concerns and customizes the products according to their needs.

    Providing customers their ordered products earlier than other companies lead time, which means increase in speed of delivery and shortens the delivery time.

    Bring improvement and advancements in its products by using new technology.
