Hey,
Can you please help me with this MCQ ques 11. It is a question on throughput accounting. We have to identify bottleneck process. Can you please help?
My answer is coming A but the answer in the book is C. I am not getting thatNovember 29, 2017 at 6:05 pm #418956Sorry, but I only have the current edition of the BPP Revision Kit, and question 11 is nothing to do with throughput accounting.
Type the first line of the question and then maybe I can find it in the current edition (or if it is in one of the mock exams then say which exam).
November 30, 2017 at 1:54 am #419038Its related to soft drinks manufcturing company in which there are 4 processes- washing, filling, capping, labelling and we have to identify which of the above 4 processes is he bottleneck?
November 30, 2017 at 5:38 am #419086Ooops – it is indeed question 11 (I was looking in the Paper F9 book by mistake – sorry 🙂 )
For washing, each 12 units takes 6 minutes (or 6/60 = 0.1 hours).
So with 1,200 hours available they are capable of making 1,200/0.1 = 12,000 dozen units.Similarly, in filling they are capable of making 700 / (3/60) = 14,000 dozen units.
In capping they are capable of making 250 / (1.5/60) = 10,000 dozen units.
In labelling they are capable of making 450 / (2/60) = 13,500 dozen units.It is therefore capping that is limiting the total number they can produce, and therefore capping is the bottleneck process.
