The public-health immunization registry ART pours budget into a non-bottleneck team’s new IDE while the real constraint—state immunization-information-system reviewers—idles waiting on a monthly slot. What should the RTE apply first?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Polishing the waiting-room chairs does not speed a clinic if the only nurse is booked once a month. Put the energy on the constraint. Fancy IDEs on a team that is not the bottleneck just fill the lobby faster.
Full Explanation
Systems thinking and constraint management say local efficiency at a non-bottleneck does not increase system throughput. The immunization-registry ART’s flow is gated by interface review. The RTE should make that constraint visible and improve its policy, capacity, or batching first. Tooling upgrades elsewhere may help later, but they are not the first flow move.
