The following diagram shows a 4-step process that begins with Operation 1 and ends with Operation 4. The rates shown in each box represent the effective capacity of that operation.
a. Determine the capacity of this process.
b. Which action would yield the greatest increase in process capacity: (1) increase the capacity of Operations 1 by 15 percent; (2) increase the capacity of Operations 2 by 10 percent; or (3) increase the capacity of Operations 3 by 10 percent?
12/hr. 15/hr. 11/hr. 14/hr.
?Operation 1? ? Operation 2 ? ?Operation 3? ?? Operation 4?
1.
Capacity refers to the upper limit of the rate of output.in the given operation, operation 2 yields maximum output rate. Moreover, the system suffers from bottleneck at operation 3. Therefore, the maximum capacity of the process is 11/ hr.
2.
Effects of the action on the process are as shown below:
New capacity = 12+ 15% of 12
But the process will still suffer the bottleneck and its capacity will remain to 11/ hr.
New capacity = 15+ 10% of 15
But the process will still suffer the bottleneck and its capacity will remain to 11/ hr.
New capacity = 11+ 10% of 11
Therefore, action 3.increase the capacity of operation 3 by 10 percent should be adopted. This action will influence the capacity of the process and the maximum capacity of the process will increase to 12.10/hr. from 11/hr. Therefore, this action willlimit the bottleneck,will increase the utilization as well as efficiency ratio of the process.
