5-8 X C Which O ezto.mheducation.com/hm.tpx | | | a search 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 Number Processing Processing Processing time for A time for B time for C workers (minutes) (minutes) (minutes) of 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? O Resource 1 O Resource 2 Resource 3 O Resource 4 O Resource 5 , What is the flow rate for Flow A assuming that demand must be served in the mix 32 units per day described above (ie, for every four units of A there are five units of B and six units of C)? What is the flow rate for Flow B assuming that demand must be served in the mix described above (ie., for every four units of A, there are five units of B and six units of C)? 50 units per day What is the flow rate for Flow C assuming that demand must be served in the mix

Explanation / Answer

The bottleneck of a process is a point of conjuction, where a lot of time is spent to go through the next step.

In our above question, to find out what is our bottleneck, first we need to calculate the time spent on each resource.

As mentioned in vase, to comprlete one resource the other also needs to be completed so for flow A

Resource 1 = 60/5 ( 60 units in a day so in 5 mins it will be 60/5) * 2 workers *8 hours a day = 192

Resource 2 = 60/3* 2*8 = 320

Resource 3 = 60/15* 1 * 8 = 32

Resource 4 = 60/0 * 1* 8 = 480

Resource 5 = 60/6*2*8 = 160.

So according to above calculation resource 3 is less so the bottleneck will be Resource 3 And the flow rate will be 32.

Amswer 3) flow rate for B

Resource 1= 60/ 5*2*8 = 192

Resource 2 = 60/4*2*8 = 240

Resource 3 = 60/0*1*8 = 480

Resource 4= 60/3*1*8 = 160

Resource 5 = 60/6*2*8 = 160

According to the flow B processing time will be 160

Answer 4) flow rate for C

Resource 1) 60/5*2*8= 192

Resource 2= 60/5*2*8 = 192

Resource 3 = 60/0*1*8 = 480

Resource 4 = 60/3*1*8 = 160

Resource 5 = 60/4 * 2 *8 = 240

Flow rate will be 160 with resource 4
