You are analyzing a production line. There are five processes, labeled A through E and your widgets start at Process A then go to Process B C D and E The process map looks a bit like this:
Start A B C D E Finish.
You have the following process information:
Process A requires minutes per widget.
Process B does widgets per hour.
Process C does widgets per hour.
Process D can do widgets per hour shift.
Process E takes minutes per widget.
What is the process time of the system? Blank minutes per widget. Please round to the nearest integer; if you would like to enter please type in a
Which process is the bottleneck? Blank
If you tied yourself to a widget just as it started Process A how many minutes later would you find yourself done with Process E Blank minutes. Please round to the nearest integer; if you would like to enter please type in a Hint: this is another way of asking for the throughput time.
Would it help make more widgets per day if we could speed up Process A by one minute per widget? Blank Please enter yes or no
Say we didn't end up changing Process A after all. If we could speed Process D up by minutes per widget, what would the new process time of the system be Blank minutes. Please round to the nearest integer; if you would like to enter please type in a
Say we did speed up Process D by those minutes per widget. Where is the bottleneck of the system now? Blank
