Consider a process consisting of five resources that are operated eight hours per day. The proces works on three different products A,B, and C. Demand for the three different products is as follows; product A, 40 Units Per day, Product B, 50 units per day, and product C, 60 Units per day:
Step 3 - Capacity consumed
Resource "Capacity Requirement from A
40 Units" "Capcity Requirement fom B
50 Units" "Capacity Requirement from C
60 Units" Step 4 : Add to obtain resource Requirements
Units 40 50 60 Resource Requirements
1-Processing time 5 5 5
1 (Units x Processing) 200 + 250 + 300 750
2-Processing time 3 4 5
2 (Units x Processing) 120 + 200 + 300 620
3-Processing time 15 0 0
3 (Units x Processing) 600 + 0 + 0 600
4-Processing time 0 3 3
4 (Units x Processing) 0 + 150 + 180 330
5-Processing time 6 6 6
5 (Units x Processing) 240 + 300 + 360 900
What is the bottleneck? What is the flow rate for each unit assuming that demand must be serviced in the mix described above.
