Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Goldratt's Theory of Constraints emphasizes that the efficiency of the entire system is determined by the bottleneck, and any time lost at the bottleneck is time lost for the entire system. Therefore, option A is the correct choice. Options B and C are not necessarily true based on Goldratt's theory and option D is incorrect as Goldratt focused on the importance of throughput, inventory, and operating expenses rather than productivity as a measure.
