I am suck on the effectivd capacity question.
I am suck on the effectivd capacity question. Activity C is the bottleneck and if you multiply that by the utilization rate you get 332.5. However, if you do the same for activity D the flow is only 308. Due to this lower number wouldnt the effective capacity be 308?
(240,000 (minutes/year) = 6.7 work cells, so round up to 7 work cells. PROBLEMS Operation No. Equipment IA Design Capacity (by equipment) 400 units/hr 100, 80, 150, 125 350 units/hr 190, 235 Planned Utilization (overall) 80% 77% 95% 72.5% 4 B 1 D With the process information provided in the preceding table, when the sequence of flow is A - B (any machine can be used if available)C - D (any machine can be used if available), calculate the overall flow rate for: a. Maximum capacity b. Effective capacity
