answer the questions and be specific

(a)[1] What is the bottleneck? (shows steps) (b)[1] What is the process capacity? (explain) (c)[1] Sketch the process with four consecutive resources and their capacities. Describe it. For parts (d) (f), assume input =24 units/hour and demand =15 units/hour. (d)[1] Determine what-constrained the process is. Find the flow rate. (e)[1] Find utilizations (U) for the resources and process. Draw and interpret the U profile. (f)[1] Find implied utilizations for the resources and process. Draw and interpret the IU profile. For parts (g)(i), assume input =21 units/hour and demand =25 units/hour. (g)[1] Determine what-constrained the process is. Find the flow rate. (h)[1] Find utilizations (U) for the resources and process. Draw and interpret the U profile. (i)[1] Find implied utilizations for the resources and process. Draw and interpret the IU profile. (j)[1] Use the table structure to implement parts (a)-(b) \& (d)-(i) in Excel (link cells by functions). Copy the table and 4 profile charts into your answer file (there is no need to show equations). A business process with one flow unit type has four resources as in the table below. You do nol
