Lanny discovers that the bottleneck is the riveting machine so he schedules all production around when that machine is available. This is an example of elevating the constraint in the five-step constraint management process.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Elevating the constraint involves increasing the capacity of the bottleneck, not scheduling production around it. Scheduling production around the bottleneck is an example of exploiting the constraint, which is a different step in the process.
