  7. 4. The volume-variety position of an operation has implications for almost every aspect of its design activities. In a low volume, high variety operation, which is the correct combination of design decisions? A) Product/service standardisation high, location can be decentralised, flow intermittent B) Product/service standardisation low, location can be decentralised, flow continuous C) Product/service standardisation low, location can be decentralised, flow intermittent D) Product/service standardisation low, location usually centralised, flow intermittent
