The correct answer is: optimising material flow through the plant.

The routing function in a production system design is concerned with determining the most efficient path or sequence of operations for producing a product. This involves:

- Identifying the necessary operations and their sequence.
- Determining the most efficient route for material flow through the plant
- Minimizing transportation costs and distances
- Reducing handling and storage requirements

The routing function aims to optimize material flow, reducing waste and improving efficiency.

The other options are not correct because:
- Manpower utilisation: This is related to labour planning and scheduling, not routing.
- Quality assurance of the product: This is related to quality control and inspection, not routing.
- Machine utilisation: While routing may consider machine capacity, its primary focus is on material flow, not machine utilization.

=> Routing is a critical function in production planning and control, ensuring that materials move efficiently through the production process, minimizing waste and reducing costs.
