The argument concludes that ABC Company should implement a flextime schedule in order to increase production. As support, the argument cites studies which have shown that flextime schedules improve morale.

The argument goes from a premise stating that flextime improves morale to a conclusion that flextime would increase production. This depends on the assumption that an improvement in morale could lead to an increase in production.

Knowing about employees’ preferences isn’t necessary to establish a relationship between morale and production. This could be false without affecting the strength of the argument.

Based on the claim that flextime improves morale, the argument concludes that flextime would increase production. This only makes sense if we assume that increasing morale could lead to increased production.

Even if this were not the case, it wouldn’t undermine the argument. A decrease in lateness and absenteeism isn’t necessary for morale to affect production.

The argument wouldn’t be affected if this were not assumed—the argument just depends on morale affecting production, not the exact reason why. So, this isn’t necessary.

The choices of competing companies aren’t essential to establish the argument’s support structure, making this unnecessary.
