Scenario Scenario There are three activities or stations in a process. The throughput is jobs per hour the processing times at each station and the number of servers at each station are given below. Unit Load T 5 Station 1 Station 2 4 Station 3 11 Num ber units in resou rce pool G minutes 1 minutes 1 minutes 2 server server server Number in queue at station i 4 2.5 0.5 2 flow units flow units flow units Use the process flow diagram below to enter or calculate variables for Little's Law. The system is stable. There is only one path through this system. Show the number of servers and the capacity of the Resource Pool 1 Start 2 3 4 5 6 What is the takt time in this scenario in minutes?

Explain your answer. What is the capacity of this process? Explain your answer. What is the utilization of this process? Explain your answer. Based on your calculations can this process meet demand?

If you do not add capacity, will this process be able to meet the higher customer demand? End Scenario Scenario There are three activities or stations in a process.
