can you do clarify this oneFebruary 12, 2025 at 9:26 pm #715362Bottleneck resource is typically identified as the resource that has the least capacity or the highest demand relative to its available capacity.
Therefore you need to analyse the production process to see which resource is it
But the information you have sent is not clear……
if machine time is the limiting factor, you would calculate the factory cost based on the machine hours available and the costs associated with that resource. So it’s done as…….
Throughput = SR-Mat………28000-15000=13000
Factory costs = 11550
TPAR = 15000/11550 = 1.30 - AuthorPosts
