The process flow diagram for an office chair is shown below. There are three steps on a worker-paced line, and no inventory is stored between the steps. The processing times are:
- Base: 6 minutes/unit
- Upholstery: 10 minutes/unit
- Assembly: 8 minutes/unit
Raw material - Base(6 Minutes) - Upholstery(10 minutes)- Assembly(8 minutes)- finished units
What is the flow unit?
- 6 office chairs
- 1 office chair
- the upholstery
- The base
Homework Answers
The bottleneck station is Upholstery station with 10 mins/unit.Therefore, final output is 6 office chairs in an hour.
But the unit is chairs, therefore the flow unit is 1 chair while throughput is 6 office chair per hour.
