Hello John !
Company makes 3 products. A B and C. They go through 3 processes. Sanding, finishing and polishing.
A. B. C
Sanding(mins) 2. 3. 2.5
Fins. 3. 4. 2
Pol. 4. 5. 3Max hrs sanding 150
Fin 170
Polishing 250.
The answer says the bottle neck is finishing. But shouldnt it be polishing? Since it is the slowest.The answer is indeed finishing.
Units may spend the most time in polishing, but there is more time available in polishing. The bottleneck is the process that is limiting the production.
For example:
In sanding they are capable of producing 150 x 60 / 2 = 4,500 units of A
In finishing they can produce 170 x 60 / 3 = 3,400 units of A
In polishing it is 250 x 60 / 4 = 3,750 units of ASo it is finishing that would be limiting the production and the most they could produce would be 3,400. Same with the other two products.
