3. A production system requires four machines with the following productivity and layout:
With the current system how long would it take to produce 300 units?
12 hours |
20 hours |
2 days 4 hours |
5 days |
20 hours
The overall capacity of the system would be = 15 units/hr
As, this is the capacity of the bottleneck process and is the lowest individual capacity.
Therefore in order to process 15 units, the time taken is 1 hour
In order to process 300 units, the time taken would be = (1/15)*300
= 20 hours
