A work system has five stations that have process times of 5, 9, 4, 9, and 8. What is the throughput time of the system? What is the bottleneck time?
Throughput time of the product is the time required for processing i.e.time required to pass through a manufacturing process and thereby convert a raw material into final product.
The formula to calculate throughput time is adding the time of the steps of the manufacturing process i.e. process time,inspection time, move time and wait time. It can be said that the time spent at each station. In the above question throughput time can be calculated be adding the process time of each station i.e. 5+9+4+9+8=35
Bottleneck literally means constraint, and in a supply chain bottleneck means a resource that requires the longest time in operations of the supply chain for certain demand. Bottleneck can be defined as one process in the chain of process that its limited capacity reduces the capacity of whole chain.

An assembly line has 10 stations with times of 1, 2, 3, 4, …, 10, respectively. What is the bottleneck time?
(20) A flow line has two stations. The first station has a processing time of 6 minutes, and it has 3 servers. The second has a processing time of 11 minutes, and it has 4 servers. There is a constant arrival rate of jobs to the line What is the maximum utilization at each station? What assumptions do you need to ensure that maximum utilization is achieved? It turns out that the non-bottleneck station is very expensive, so management would...
A work cell has four stations, and each unit produced at the cell needs to be processed by all of the stations in series. (The same unit cannot be worked on by four stations simultaneously.) The capacity of each station is (Station #, # of Machines, units per hour), (S1, 1, 4), (S2, 1, 5), (S3, 1, 6), (S4, 1, 8). What is the process time of the work cell in minutes per unit?
Consider a production line with three single-machine stations in series. Each has processing times with mean two hours and standard deviation of two hours. a. Suppose we run this line as a push system and release jobs into it at a rate of 0.45 per hour with arrival variability given by Ca = 1. What is the average WIP in the line? b. Compute the throughput of this line if it is run as a CONWIP line with a WIP...

A production line at V. J. Sugumaran's machine shop has three stations. The first station can process a unit in 6 minutes. The second station has three identical machines, each of which can process a unit in 15 minutes (each unit only needs to be processed on one of the three machines). The third station can process a unit in 8 minutes ▼| is the bottleneck station, with a bottleneck time of] | minutes per unit (enteryourresponse as a whole...

One of the town council members believes that the two fire stations have different mean response times. Do you agree? Why? Use a significance level of 0.05 and the p-value to make your decision. Again, the data for both stations has been re-copied for convenience.
