Which of the following is NOT a valid principle of bottleneck
management?
A.Increasing the capacity of a non-bottleneck station increases
the capacity for the whole system.
B.Release work orders to the system at the pace set by the
bottleneck’s capacity.
C.Increasing the capacity of a non-bottleneck station is a
mirage.
D.Lost time at the bottleneck represents lost capacity for the
whole system.
The following are the four principles of bottle neck management Release work orders to the system according to the schedule set by the capacity of bottle necks Any loss in the time at the bottle neck results in loss in the capacity of the entire system Even though there is an increase in the capacity at non-bottle neck areas, there is no change in the capacity of the system. The capacity increase in the areas of bottle neck can increase the capacity of the system So, the invalid statement about the principles of bottle neck is that increasing the capacity of the non-bottle neck stations increases the capacity of the system. Hence, the correct option is A.
