Which statement about line balancing is TRUE?

  • A.The fastest stage sets the throughput
  • B.Balance has no effect on capital efficiency
  • C.Removing one bottleneck simply promotes the next slowest stage
  • D.Balancing is achieved in a single step

Answer: C

Correct answer: Removing one bottleneck simply promotes the next slowest stage

That is the essential character of balancing: it is iterative. Relieve the slowest stage and the next slowest becomes the constraint, so the gain is only as far as the second bottleneck. The other statements are false - the slowest stage sets throughput, balance is precisely a question of capital efficiency, and one step is rarely enough.
