ONLY ANSWER IF YOU ARE CONFIDENT.

Consider a bagel store selling two types of bagels: Cream Cheese Bagels go through "cutting", "cream cheese", and "wrapping" stations, while Veggie Bagels go trough "cutting", "veggie", and "wrapping" stations.

Assume the processing times are as follows: Cutting: 2 min/bagel (regardless of the order type)

CreamCheese: 1 min/bagel

Veggie: 2 min/bagel

Wrapping: 3 min/bagel (regardless of the order type)

Assume the demand is 250 bagels a day, of which there are 150 cream cheese and 100 veggie. Assume that the workday is 10 hours long and each resource is staffed with one worker. Answer the following questions:

Question 5 (2 points) Saved What is the process bottleneck?

Question 5 options:

Cutting Cream

Cheese Veggie

Wrapping

Question 6 (1 point) How many of each type of bagels can the store sells within one hour, assuming the product mix (ratio of cream cheese to veggie bagels) remains constant during the hour?

Question 6 options:

15 cream cheese and 10 veggie

18 cream cheese and 12 veggie

12 cream cheese and 8 veggie

9 cream cheese and 6 veggie

Question 7 (1 point) Saved Looking at the utilization of different stations, the manager decides to lay off the person who works at the CreamChees station, and ask the person who works at the Veggie station to cover both stations. How do you think this affects the customers' average waiting time in the store?

Question 7 options: It will increase the average waiting time

It will decrease the average waiting time

It will not affect the average waiting time

We do not have enough information to answer this question

Question 8 (2 points) Saved [answer this question independent of question 7, i.e., assume each station has its own server]. The store managers find that while the average wrapping time (over all bagels) is 3 minutes, but there is a slight difference in processing time for CreamCheese vs Veggie bagels. Calculate the implied utilization of the wrapping station if the wrapping time for CreamCheese is 2.5 and for veggie is 3.5 minutes per bagel.
