    Example 3
    Yam Co is involved in the processing of sheet metal into products A, B and C using three processes,
    pressing, stretching and rolling.
    The factory has 50 production lines each of which contain the three processes: Raw material for the
    sheet metal is first pressed then stretched and finally rolled. The processing capacity varies for each
    process and the factory manager has provided the following data:
    Processing time per metre in hours
    Product A Product B Product C
    Pressing 0.50 0.50 0.40
    Stretching 0.25 0.40 0.25
    Rolling 0.40 0.25 0.25
    The factory operates for 225,000 hours.
    Identify the bottleneck process and explain why this process is described as a ‘bottleneck’.
