Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is "A) is a form of coordination.".

Explanation: Standardizing work through job descriptions and procedures is a form of coordination.

The standardization of jobs consists in selecting the best practices, what each operator does well or what is proven to obtain the best results to define a work methodology, which all workers must follow.

What is sought is that each and every one of the operators work in the same way, for the same production process.
