Which term names the TOC analysis that describes product flow using the four logical structures V, A, T, and I?

• A. VATI Analysis
• B. Zone picking
• C. Yokoten
• D. United Nations Global Compact

Answer: (A)

In TOC, analyzing how products move through the system to identify constraints and improve throughput is key. The VATI Analysis is the named approach for describing product flow using four logical structures labeled V, A, T, and I. This framework provides a clear way to map flow patterns, helping you see where value is added and where delays or bottlenecks occur. The other options aren’t about describing product flow in a TOC context: zone picking is a warehouse picking method, Yokoten is cross-location sharing of practices, and the UN Global Compact is an international sustainability initiative. So VATI Analysis is the term that fits the described TOC analysis.
