One micro operation acting as a constraint on capacity may be termed a:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A bottleneck is a micro operation that limits the overall capacity of a system. It is a constraint that slows down the entire process, and represents a limit on the amount of work that can be completed. Therefore, D is the best choice as it specifically addresses the concept of a constraint on capacity. A is incorrect as it refers to a process that is not viable, which may or may not be related to capacity constraints. B is incorrect as a cost center refers to a department or function within an organization that incurs costs but does not directly generate revenue. C is partially correct as resource limitation can contribute to a bottleneck, but it does not fully capture the concepts of a micro operation or constraint on capacity.
