1. Increasing the capacity just before a bottleneck operation will improve the output of the process.
True or false
2. Increasing the capacity of the bottleneck resource always increases the capacity of process.
True or false
3. If the process has an average inventory of 5 units and the flow time is 1 hr, than the actual cycle time is 12 minutes.
True or false
Homework Answers
Answer 1 : False
Explanation : To improve the output of the process one must know and identify the value added activities, communicate changes effectively, map existing process etc.
Answer 2 : True
Explanation : When the capacity of the WIP in bottleneck is been increased the outcome and the capacity changes.
Answer 3 : True
Explanation : To calculate cycle time, use the formula : cycle time = 1 / throughput rate, where throughput rate = units produced/ time, hence : Throughput time = 5 / 60 min ( 1 hr = 60 minutes) = 0.0833
Now, cycle time = 1 / 0.08333 = 12 minutes.

Which one of the following statements is true? Throughput contribution is not increased when non-bottleneck output is increased. a. The elimination of defects always increases productivity. b. Non-bottleneck operations should be refined for high efficiency before starting on bottleneck improvement because non-bottleneck operations are generally easier to correct and improve. С. d. Quality and time are seldom related in service industries. The elimination of defects always decreases revenues. е.

1 . Product A has a unit profit of $40 and takes 10 minutes on the bottleneck; Product B has unit profit of $60 and takes 30 minutes on the bottleneck. Non-bottleneck operations have infinite capacity because capacity can be added at no cost. The bottleneck has a capacity of 24 hours in a day. Should I maximize feasible production of: a.
