Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A bottleneck is the narrowest point in a process that limits the overall throughput. It is the step that restricts the flow and slows down the entire process, resulting in longer lead times and lower productivity. Therefore, option C is the correct answer. The other options are process improvement tools and techniques that are used to analyze and optimize processes, but they do not refer specifically to the activity that limits throughput.
