"File" is not an important concept in TOC. The other four options are all key concepts in the Theory of Constraints (TOC). CCR (Capacity-Constrained Resource) refers to the system constraint, Rope refers to the pacing mechanism used to synchronize the flow of materials through the system, Drum refers to the maximum output rate of the CCR, and Buffer refers to the inventory built up to protect the system from disruptions.
