Practical application of the Theory of Constraints involves the implementation of all of the following steps EXCEPT:
A)Identify the system bottleneck(s).
B)Exploit the bottleneck(s).
C)Reduce the capacity at the bottleneck(s).
D)Elevate the bottleneck(s).

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Theory of Constraints focuses on identifying and maximizing the system bottleneck(s), not reducing their capacity. Therefore, reducing the capacity at the bottleneck(s) is not a step in the implementation process.
