Which desirable action that managers take to relieve bottleneck constraints of the assembly operation do managers note that the cost of poor quality at a nonbottleneck operation is the cost of materials wasted?
A)Eliminate idle time at the bottleneck operation.
B)Shift products that are not made on the bottleneck machine to nonbottleneck machines,or to outside processing facilities.
C)Reduce setup time and processing time at bottleneck operations.
D)Improve the quality of parts,or products,manufactured at the bottleneck operation.
E)Other operating costs will increase,while contribution margin will remain unchanged because bottleneck capacity of the assembly operation will not increase.

Improving the quality of parts or products manufactured at the bottleneck operation directly addresses the issue of material waste due to poor quality, which is a significant concern at nonbottleneck operations. By enhancing quality at the bottleneck, less rework or scrap is generated downstream, effectively reducing material waste and associated costs.
