Problem 3: Theory of Constraints (6 points)
The manufacturing company you work for has a four step assembly process shown in the flow diagram below.
Process 1 Capacity =73 units/hr
Process 2 Capacity = 67 units/hr
Process 3 Capacity = 91 units/hr
Process 4 Capacity = 79 units/hr
What is the maximum output this assembly process could produce in 8 hours? (2 points)
If the capacity of Process 1 is increased to 91 units/hour, how many units can be assembled in 8 hours? (2 points)
Assume the capacity Process 1 is not changed in the diagram above, but instead the capacity of Process 2 is increased to 91 units/hour. How many units can be assembled in 8 hours? (2 points)
Explanation / Answer
the maximum output will be= 73*8+ 67*8+91*8+79*8
=584+536+728+632= 2480 units
if the process 1 increased to 91 units per hour, then the total output will be= 2480+144= 2624 units
if process 2 has changed instead of process 1, then the output will be= 2480+(24*8)= 2672 units
