Question

Consider a process consisting of five resources that are operated eight hours per day. The process works on three different products, A, B, and C Processing Processing time for A time for B Number Processing time for C Resource workers (minutes) (minutes) (minutes) 2 3 4 5 4 15 4 3 4 Demand for the three different products is as follows: product A, 40 units per day; product B, 50 units per day; and product C, 60 units per day a. What is the bottleneck? Resource 1 Resource 2 Resource 3 Resource 4 Resource 5 What is the flow rate for Flow A assuming that demand must be served in the mix C)? What is the flow rate for Flow B assuming that demand must be served in the mix C)? What is the flow rate for Flow C assuming that demand must be served in the mix C)? b. described above (i.e., for every four units of A, there are five units of B and six units of units per day c. described above (i.e., for every four units of A, there are five units of B and six units of units per day d. described above (i.e., for every four units of A, there are five units of B and six units of units per day

Explanation / Answer

A.

If assumed each user individualy works the bottleneck is Resource 3

.

But if they are minimum required (And there is no parallel activity for multiple users) then Bottleneck is Resource 5.
