You know, this reminds me of that time I tried to implement a quality management system in my lemonade stand. Let's just say it didn't go so well - the inspectors kept complaining about the inconsistent lemon-to-sugar ratio. Ah, the joys of entrepreneurship!

What about option C - relying on qualitative measurements? Isn't that a bit outdated? Shouldn't a modern quality management system focus more on quantitative data and metrics? I'm not sure I like that one either.

I agree with Ty. Sampling inspection can be useful, but a good quality management system should strive for more thorough and reliable data collection, not just random samples. Option B is definitely not the best answer.

Hmm, I'm not convinced that sampling inspection is a characteristic of a good quality management system. Shouldn't it rely more on continuous monitoring and improvement rather than just spot-checking? Option B doesn't seem right to me.

I'm not sure about that. Reducing variability is important, but I think a good quality management system should also cover a broad range of activities, as mentioned in option A. It needs to be comprehensive to be effective.

I think both are important. A comprehensive system that covers a broad range of activities and reduces variability would be ideal.

I think this is a great question to test our understanding of quality management systems. I would go with option D - it reduces variability in the workplace. A good quality management system should focus on minimizing variations in processes and outputs.
