Consider a system with multiple stages, where one stage is the bottleneck. Let's say that the arrival rate (e.g., customers per hour) increases by 10%, keeping everything else the same. The stage that was the bottleneck:

Group of answer choices

Can have shifted to another stage, depending on the capacities

Is then by definition still the bottleneck

Will definitely have a utilization higher than 100%

Also increases its capacity by 10%.

Flag question: Question 8Question 81 pts

Wham-O makes 3 plastic toys; hula-hoops (product H), strawshooters (product S), and wingdingers (product W). Wham-O has 4 resource types that are used in production - the capacities of each resource type (and the number of processors of each type) are shown in the table below. For example, hula-hoops must go through Extrusion, Forming and Packaging (but hula-hoops do not require any process time at the "Finishing" step).

Resource	#Processors	Capacity, jobs/day
H	S	W
Extrusion	2	200	150	300
Forming	2	100	200	300
Finishing	1	Unlimited	300	Unlimited
Packaging	3	66.7	Unlimited	200

For example, in one day, Packaging can process 200 hula-hoops if it only works on hula-hoops (i.e., 66.7 per day for each of the two processors), or it can process an unlimited number of strawshooters if it only works on strawshooters (because strawshooters don't require packaging), or it can process 600 wingdingers if it only works on wingdingers (alternately, it can process some combination of H, S, and W). If demand is 100 units per day for hula-hoops, plus 100 units per day forstrawshooters, plus 120 units per dayfor wingdingers, then what is the utilization of Forming?
