1. Given the following system with one resource (m = 1) and one job type (n = 1):
The number of job arrivals per hour is 6 jobs/hour (R = 6 jobs/hr),
The processing time of each job on resource 1 is 3 minutes (p = 3 minutes).
What is the utilization of the system?
2. There are three resources working in sequence, each with the following processing times: p1 = 16 minutes, p2 = 10 minutes, and p3 = 20 minutes.
Resource 1 has two processors, resource 2 has one processor, and resource 3 has three processors. What is the capacity c of this system?
3. How are the concepts of utilization and a bottleneck linked?
A) Higher capacity means higher utilization means a higher chance at a bottleneck.
B) The utilization is mathematically the same as one divided by the bottleneck.
C) The process step with the highest utilization is the bottleneck in the system.
D) Each processing step has a utilization and a bottleneck threshold.
