- Which of the following statements is TRUE? Group of answer choices The bottleneck resource is the one that determines the capacity of a process, and thus its utilization is always 100%. Because there is excess capacity compared to the bottleneck resource, non-bottleneck resource is always under-utilized, and its utilization is less than 100%. The bottleneck resource constrains the flow of the process, and thus the flow rate is always the same as the bottleneck capacity. When process is capacity constrained, utilization tells us by how much demand exceeds capacity. It is always necessary to add more capacity to the bottleneck stage to increase the Flow rate of the process.arrow_forwardIf the cost of goods manufactured is higher than the cost of goods sold, which of the following is correct?
