Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The question asks for the best choice(s) to reduce the effect of constraints. Options A, B, and C all describe methods to reduce constraints, but option D combines two of these methods. Offloading work from constrained workstations and increasing workstation capability can both help to reduce the impact of constraints. Option E is too broad and includes all three methods, but it is not necessary to do all three to reduce constraints. Therefore, the best choice is D, as it combines the two most effective methods.
