Explanation / Answer

a. Calculate the capacity of each task.

Capacity of task b is the minimum, therefore, it is the bottleneck operation.

Current maximum output of the process is same as the output of bottleneck operation = 21.6 per day

b) Another resource must be added to the bottleneck operation, i.e. task b (optometrist)

Task Time (minutes) Capacity/day a 2 =10*60/2= 300 b 25 =9*60/25= 21.6 c 20 =10*60/20= 30 d 60 =10*60*6/60= 60 e 5 =10*60/5= 120
