Question 6 a) White Chemicals has a problem with its operations. Analyze the following flow process given in Figure 2. The department's capacity is given in Table-3. 1 part 2 parts A B D E G 1 part 1 part F Figure-2 Flow process at White Chemicals Table-3 Department Capacity Department B D E F G Capacity (Gallons per hour) 100 60 50 120 100 40 140 The ratio for mixing the outputs from departments E and F is two to one. This means that getting three gallons out of G requires mixing two gallons of E's output and one gallon of F's output. The ratio for departments B and C is one to one. 1) What is the current system's capacity? (2 marks) II) Which department is the bottleneck? (2 marks) iii) By improving on the current bottleneck, how much system capacity can be gained by adding capacity to the bottleneck? (2 marks)
