    Throughput Q:

    Co makes 2 products: X and Y.
    X Y
    SP 50 32
    Material 10 6
    Labour 20 15
    Assembly time 20min 15min
    Max demand 1500 units 1000units

    Total assembly time is limited to 600hrs. Using throughput, how many units Y should produce?

    First contribution:

    X: 50-10=40/0.3hrs=133.3, so X FIRST
    Y: 32-6=26/0.25hrs=104, Y SECOND

    X: 1500u*0.3=450hrs
    Y: 600u*0.25=150hrs

    Where am I getting wrong, as my answer of 600units does not match any of the mock exam?

    You have asked this twice and I have already answered you elsewhere.

    You are showing the time for X as being 0.3 hours, but it is not.

    20 minutes is 1/3 hour – not 0.3 hours.
