Note: To receive partial/full credit all calculations must be explained and shown.
Taryns Hair Salon has three stylists and an intern who provide services to its clients. The customer first gets their hair washed at a single station, which takes an average of 5 minutes and is performed by the intern. Then the customers hair is dried and styled, by one of the three stylists, taking an average of 25 minutes per customer. Lastly, the payment takes 3 minutes and is performed by a receptionist. Assume that no work-in-process (WIP) is permitted beyond that actually being worked on at each process step (i.e., there are no buffers between process steps).
What is the capacity of the process, and what is the bottleneck?
What is the average theoretical flow time (i.e., without including waiting for service)?
If the average demand is 10 units/hour, what is throughput rate?
