throughput

KKrrish2y ago
sir there was a question with three products a b c in kaplan study text three process of assembly quality control and packaging were required for each product in this the quality control time AVAILABLE WAS 150 HOURS, but required was 170 hours and hence it was bottleneck. however what if the packaging also had less time available then required? how would we determine the bottleneck?

There would only be one bottleneck in a question

Sir so if there are two contraints linear programming will be used?

A process may have multiple bottlenecks but usually has one constraint at a given point of time. Removal of a constraint results in another bottleneck becoming a constraint. Multiple constraints are dealt with in linear programming.
