The Theory of Constraints (TOC) strives to reduce the effect of constraints by:
A) offloading work from constrained workstations.
B) increasing constrained workstation capability.
C) changing workstation order to reduce throughput time.
D) A and B
E) A, B, and C

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Theory of Constraints aims to reduce the effect of constraints both by offloading work from constrained workstations and increasing their capabilities. Changing the workstation order may also be a solution, but it is not always necessary or feasible. Therefore, the best choice is D, which includes both A and B as valid ways to reduce the impact of constraints.
