• W. Edwards Deming's 14 Principles for Quality Management:
• Dr. W. Edwards Deming formulated 14 foundational management obligations for Total Quality Management (TQM):
• Point 9: “Break down barriers between departments” (eliminate inter-departmental silos, foster teamwork).
• Point 3: “Cease dependence on mass inspection to achieve quality” (build quality into the product and process design using statistical process control rather than inspecting defectives at the end).
• Point 10: “Eliminate slogans, exhortations, and targets for the work force” (numerical slogans create adversarial relations without providing the systemic tools to achieve improvements).
• Conclusion: Statements (A), (B), and (C) are all part of Deming's 14 principles, making Option 4 correct.

Correct option: (4) (A), (B) and (C)

• Product Layout (Line Layout) in Facility Design:
• Product Layout (or assembly line layout) arranges workstations and machinery in a fixed linear path according to the exact progressive sequence of operations required to manufacture a standardized, high-volume product (e.g., dairy packaging, car assembly).
• Distractors:
• Process Layout (Functional Layout): Groups similar machines and functions together in departments (e.g., all drilling machines in one area, all painting in another), suited for low-volume, high-variety custom jobs.
• Hybrid Layout (Cellular Layout): Combines process and product layout principles using group technology.

Correct option: (2) Product Layout
