Your dishwasher can handle 100 plates per hour. Your stove can handle 30 meals (each on single plate) per hour. All of your meals require plates but only 60% of meals need something prepared on the stove. Which is more likely to cause a bottleneck, the dishwasher or the stove?

Respuesta :

Based on the capacities of the dishwasher and the stove, the likely source of a bottleneck is the stove.

A bottleneck refers to:

  • A point in the production process that slows down production
  • A point in the production process that is being overloaded with workloads

The dishwasher can wash 100 plates per hour. Assuming 60 meals were to be made in an hour, the dishwasher would be able to wash enough dishes but the stove would only handle 30 meals yet it is to handle:

= 60 x 60%

= 36 meals

In conclusion, the stove is therefore the source of the bottleneck.
