Supplement 7] Capacity and Bottleneck Analysis A production system at Lakeview Manufacturing is given in the flowchart below. The bending operation occurs separately from, and simultaneously with, cutting and drilling, which are independent and sequential operations. A product needs to go through only one of the three parallel assembly operations. The product then proceeds to the last workstation for testing. Assembly 1.5 units/hour Cutting 7.5 units/hour Drilling 10 units/hour Welding 5 units/hour Assembly 1.5 units/hour Testing 4 units/hour Bending 6 units/hour Assembly 1.5 units/hour Answer the following questions based on the flowchart. Write your final answer only (without intermediate steps) for the fill-in-the-blank questions Which operation is the bottleneck? Assembly Testing Cutting Drilling Welding Bending Question 37 (4 points) The bottleneck time = A minutes per unit. Use 2-decimal accuracy for the final answer, e.g., 0.12, when necessary. Question 38 (4 points) For the entire production system, the throughput time = 4 minutes. Use 2-decimal accuracy for Question 37 (4 points) The bottleneck time = A minutes per unit. Use 2-decimal accuracy for the final answer, e.g., 0.12, when necessary. Question 38 (4 points) For the entire production system, the throughput time = 4 minutes. Use 2-decimal accuracy for the final answer, e.g., 0.12, when necessary. Question 39 (4 points) If the company operates 2 shifts per day, 8 hours per shift, and 5 days per week, the capacity of this production system = A units per week. Use 2-decimal accuracy for the final answer, e.g., 0.12, when necessary Previous Page Next Page Page 30 of 31
