Question: Will the cycle time change if another oven is added? It still takes the same amount of time, 1 0 minutes, to load and bake
Will the cycle time change if another oven is added?
It
still takes the same amount of time,
minutes, to load and bake a dozen cookie with a second oven. In that sense, the cycle time
will remain at minutes per dozen
after a second oven is added. However, when dealing with only singledozen orders, since Kristen will be busy mixing and spooning for TWO ovens, she will become the new bottleneck. There the cycle time for the whole process becomes
minutes, which is the time Kristen spends mixing and spooning one dozen cookie. You can see from the following Gantt chart for doz oven scenario.
