Option D is the clear winner here. It's like Deming was a fortune teller, predicting the future of management before it even happened. Not bad for a guy with a funny-sounding name!

I'm going with D. Anything that promises to 'decrease costs' is music to my ears. Maybe I can convince my boss to give me a raise if I implement Deming's principles.

D is the way to go. Deming would be proud if we all adopted that mindset. Though I'm still trying to figure out how to 'improve constantly and forever' without running out of coffee breaks.
