Hi John,
I’m not 100% sure of how here it is determined that the bottle neck is proces 2.
A manufacturing company uses three processes to make its two products, X and Y. The time available on the three processes is reduced because of the need for preventative maintenance and rest breaks. The table below details the process times per product and daily time available: Process Hours available per day Hours required to make one unit of product X Hours required to make one unit of product Y 1 22 1.00 0.75 2 22 0.75 1.00 3 18 1.00 0.50 Daily demand for product X and product Y is 10 units and 16 units respectively. Which of the following will improve throughput?
Thanks for the light!
Sorry – maybe it is the formatting, but I cannot make sense of what you have typed after ‘hours required to make one unit of product Y’.
If it is a past exam question, or a question in the current edition of the BPP Revision Kit, then tell me which one and then I will be able to see the question for myself (and be able to answer you 🙂 )
