Question: Consider the following batch-flow process consisting of three process steps performed by three machines: Process Time 0.20 min/unit 0.40 min/unit 0.25 min/unit Setup Time 30
Consider the following batch-flow process consisting of three process steps performed by three machines:
| Process Time | 0.20 min/unit | 0.40 min/unit | 0.25 min/unit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Setup Time | 30 mins | 20 mins | 35 mins |
1.) Suppose units are produced in batches of 50, what is the capacity of the entire process (in units/min)? 2.) Would Step 3 ever be a bottleneck? If yes, please define under what condition in terms of batch size (i.e. when batch size is < or > or = a number) that Step 3 will be a bottleneck.
Choices: No, Step 3 will never be a bottleneck.
Yes, B<200.
Yes, B>100.
Yes, B>200.
