On page 96 Jonah notes that running a non-bottleneck machine to its maximum is an act of maximum stupidity. This is because non-bottlenecks create more units per hour than bottlenecks thereby creating inventory (which is against the goal). Consider the following table: What production schedule in units per hour (uph) do you recommend for the fabrication department? Please infut number of units per hour only. On page 98, Rogo's team decides to implement a release-of-materials schedule. As Bob Donovan notes, "We don't want too much inventory flooding the floor, but we also don't want too little."
