An assembly process is depicted below:
Workcenters A and B make components; workcenter C assembles one unit from A and one unit from B to create one unit of output.
Workcenter A takes six minutes to complete its task, workcenter B takes eight minutes, and workcenter C takes five minutes. Assume that both A and B have a plentiful supply of input material, and there is sufficient demand for all items completed by C.
After running the process for a while with every sub-process running at its maximum capacity with material available to it, where would inventory build up?
| between B and C | ||
| between A and C | ||
| there will be no inventory build up anywhere |
