Problem : Theory of Constraints
The manufacturing company you work for has a four step assembly process shown in the flow diagram below.
Process 1
Capacity =
80 units/hr
Process 2
Capacity =
60 units/hr
Process 3
Capacity =
70 units/hr
Process 4
Capacity =
50 units/hr
What is the maximum output this assembly process could produce in 10 hours?
If the capacity of Process 1 is increased to 90 units/hour, how many units can be assembled in 10 hours?
If the capacity of Process 4 is increased to 90 units/hour, how many units can be assembled in 10 hours?
