Answer: D

1. Material flow analysis is important for identifying strategies for improving process flows. Process maps should be used for understanding material flows. Identifying and improving constrained processes is the main objective of the theory of constraints. 2. Group technology uses dedicated groups of manufacturing workstations for producing part families. Dr. Eli Goldratt's rules of production scheduling for optimized production technology include not balancing capacity, but balancing the flow. 3. The theory of constraints focuses on identifying the system's constraints. Product-focused layouts are best for high mix of product variability and low volume output.
