Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Group technology is a manufacturing technique that involves dividing the manufacturing process into smaller groups or cells based on the product type. This helps to address the need for product variety by allowing for more efficient production of different product types within the same facility. Therefore, option A is the correct answer. Option B is incorrect because GT does not necessarily facilitate mass consumption. Option C is incorrect because GT aims to reduce the cost per unit of product through improved efficiency. Option D is incorrect because GT actually enhances quality control by simplifying the manufacturing process and making it easier to identify and fix quality issues.
