Which of the following sets of sentences has two statements which are true?
A) Poor quality is more costly at a bottleneck workstation than it is at a nonbottleneck workstation. The cost of poor quality at a bottleneck workstation is the cost of materials in waiting.
B) Throughput contribution increases only by increasing bottleneck output. Throughput contribution is not increased when nonbottleneck output is increased.
C) The cost of poor quality at a nonbottleneck operation is the cost of materials wasted. Increasing idle time at the bottleneck operation helps relieve the delays at the nonbottleneck operations.
D) The cost of poor quality at a bottleneck operation is the cost of materials wasted. Increasing idle time at the nonbottleneck operation helps relieve the delays at the bottleneck operations.
E) Throughput contribution increases only by decreasing bottleneck output. Throughput contribution is not increased when nonbottleneck output is increased.
