All of the answers are correct as they represent potential remedial actions that managers can take when applying the theory of constraints. Eliminating idle time on the bottleneck operation can help increase throughput, shifting non-bottleneck parts to other machines or facilities can reduce congestion at the bottleneck and increase flow, and increasing the capacity of the bottleneck process can raise the overall capacity of the system.
