Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bottlenecks cause a decrease in output and an increase in lead-times. This is because the bottleneck limits the overall capacity of the system, which in turn reduces the amount of output that can be produced and increases the time it takes for products to move through the system. The other choices are incorrect as they do not directly result from bottlenecks.
