Here is a hypothetical process flowchart depicting part of a loan application process. The processing times $($in minutes$)$ are listed below each activity. What is the process flow time $($in minutes$)?$

$25$

$50$

$40$

$45$

None of the given options

The flow time is $50$ minutes: $10+15+10+15$

IncorrectQuestion $2$

$0/2$ pts

What is the Critical Path?

Process and Separate, Activity B$,$ Loan Officer

Process and Separate, Activity A$,$ Activity C

Activity A$,$ Activity B$,$ Loan Officer

Process and Separate, Activity A$,$ Activity B$,$ Loan Officer

The Critical Path is the one labeled as F$1$: Process and Separate, Activity A$,$ Activity B$,$ Loan Officer.

IncorrectQuestion $3$

$0/1$ pts

If the Activity C is reduced in time by $50\%,$ what will be the process time?

$25$

$50$

$35$

$30$

Since Activity C is not on the critical path, the flow time will not change $(50$ minutes$).$

IncorrectQuestion $4$

$0/1$ pts

If Activity B is increased in time by $50\%,$ what will be the process time?

$25$

$50$

$55$

$35$

Since Activity B is on the critical path, the flow time will increase by $50\%*10=5$ minutes, to $55$ minutes.

IncorrectQuestion $5$

$0/1$ pts

A bottleneck is the $\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_.$

Fastest activity in a process

Fastest resource $($or resource pool$)$ in a process

Slowest activity in a process

Slowest resource $($or resource pool$)$ in a process

Question $6$

$1/1$ pts

True or False. The Effective Capacity of the bottleneck becomes the effective capacity of the entire process.

True

False

Question $7$

$2/2$ pts

The comparison among Throughput $($R$),$ Effective Capacity, and Theoretical Capacity is generally stated as $\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_.$

R $<$ Effective Capacity $>$ Theoretical Capacity

R $=$ Effective Capacity $=$ Theoretical Capacity

R $>$ Effective Capacity $>$ Theoretical Capacity

R $<=$ Effective Capacity $<$ Theoretical Capacity
