Bottleneck Operations Management
Frada, Co.Ltd. produces disinfectants by mixing 2 chemical solutions in a machine to become a disinfectant solution (solution 1 and solution 2). Solution 1 is the first process which is carried out at workstation A for 0.5 minutes per solution then continued at workstation B for 0.2 minutes per solution. Then together solution 1 is mixed with solution 2 at workstation C for 0.8 minutes per solution. Workstations B and C are processed at workstation D for mixing together where the process is 10 minutes per solution until it becomes a disinfectant solution for sale to customers.
a. Which workstations are the bottleneck? Explain with a picture of the workstation.
b. What is the resulting time (throughput time) of the entire work system above?
c. How much disinfectant solution can a company produce per hour?
