EThe five steps in the Theory of Constraints (TOC) analysis are: 1) Identify the system's constraint(s), 2) Decide how to exploit the system's constraint(s), 3) Subordinate everything else to the above decision, 4) Elevate the system's constraint(s), and 5) If in the previous steps a constraint has been broken, go back to step 1. Options D and E are not part of these steps. Option D focuses on identifying responsible individuals rather than managing constraints, and option E suggests a complete redesign, which is not a step in the TOC process.
