Selected Answer: A
A. examines the resource's utilization rather than the cost of a product. The Theory of Constraints (TOC) differs from traditional decision-making methods because it focuses on identifying and managing the system's constraints to maximize throughput, rather than solely considering the cost of a product. This approach emphasizes the efficient use of resources, particularly the ones that limit overall system performance, to improve profitability and optimize business operations.
