Answer:
Letter A. <u>Quality through constant innovation and quality assurance training.</u>
Explanation:
Alternative A is correct, as W. Edwards Deming was a pioneer scholar in the application of organizational quality management.
He was responsible for creating the 14 points, which are principles for management that will help the organization to achieve total quality. He was also responsible for popularizing the PDCA Cycle (PLAN, DO, CHECK, ACT), which is a strategic tool widely used worldwide to ensure continuous improvement and the quality of processes and products.
- PLAN: define objectives, methods and resources.
- DO: Perform, educate and train.
- CHECK: Measure and evaluate
- ACT: act correctly.
Continuous improvement can be achieved through the correct and targeted use of the PDCA cycle towards organizational objectives. For Deming, without continuous improvement, there is no survival of the organization in the market, so he argues that continuous improvement must be implemented in all phases of the project, to achieve the benefits of continuous improvement of processes, increased productivity and reduced costs.

Answer:
6.11%
Explanation:
For computing the variance, first we have to determine the expected return which is shown below:
= (Expected return of the boom × weightage of boom) + (expected return of the normal economy × weightage of normal economy) + (expected return of the recession × weightage of recession)
= (12% × 5%) + (10% × 85%) + (2% × 10%)
= 0.6% + 8.5% + 0.2%
= 9.30%
Now the variance would equal to the
= Weightage × (Return - Expected Return) ^2
For boom:
= 5% × (12% - 9.3%) ^2
= 0.3645
For normal economy:
= 85% × (10% - 9.3%) ^2
= 0.4165
For recession:
= 10% × (2% - 9.3%) ^2
= 5.329
So, the total variance would be
= 0.3645 + 0.4165 + 5.329
= 6.11%
