PA 3-3 (Static) Consider a process consisting of three…

Consider a process consisting of three resources. Assume there exists unlimited demand for the product.

• Resource 1 has a processing time of 6 minutes per unit.

• Resource 2 has a processing time of 3 minutes per unit.

• Resource 3 has a processing time of 5 minutes per unit.

The three resources are staffed by different workers individually. The flow diagram is shown above.

Round “Capacity of resource” to 3 decimal places.

a. What is the capacity of resource 2?

b. What is the bottleneck in the process?

c. What is the utilization of resource 2?

d How long does it take the process to produce 200 units starting with an empty system, assuming this is a worker-paced process?
