Question

(Smunt Manufacturing) Smunt Manufacturing has the production system displayed below. The rate shown in each box is the process capacity of that operation. The drilling operation occurs separately from and simultaneously with the sawing and sanding operations. Assembly is needed in welding. The work in process then goes through one of the three finishing operations in parallel Sawing (3/hr) Sanding (6/hr) Finishing (0.7/hr) Finishing Welding (2.5/hr) (0.7/hr) Finishing Drilling (2/hr) (0.7/hr) 12 (Smunt Manufacturing) The bottleneck is A) sawing B) sandingC) drillingD) weldingE) finishing 13 (Smunt Manufacturing) The process capacity of the entire system is A) 3/hr B) 6/hr C) 2/hr D) 2.5/hr E) 0.7/hr

Explanation / Answer

12) C) Drilling. Correct option.

Bottleneck is process with highest process time.

For finishing in 1 hour there can be 2.1 units produced = .7*3 = 2.1

Hence drilling is the bottleneck process with 2 units per hour.

13) The process capacity is equivalant to bottleneck operation

C) 2/hr. Correct option
