The following table shows the process times in minutes (or minutes/unit) of a six-station serial production line (1-2-3-4-5-6).
| Station | Process Time (minutes/unit) |
| 1 | 8 |
| 2 | 11 |
| 3 | 7 |
| 4 | 7 |
| 5 | 11 |
| 6 | 4 |
Which station(s) is(are) the bottleneck(s)?
A: Station 3 and 4
B: Station 2 and 5
C: Station 5
D: Station 2
Homework Answers
B. Station 2 and 5
Bottleneck in a overall process is the impediment that actually requires maximum time or has the least capacity. In the overall process, station 2 and 5 require the maximum procesing time that is 11 minutes per minute and this is the maximum time taken by individual stations in the process.

8. A production line has three workstations. At station 1, there is one machine, which takes 2 minutes to process one unit. The unit then passes to station 2, which has two machines in parallel. The unit must be processed on just one of the machines at station 2, and each machine at station 2 takes 5 minutes to process one unit. The unit then passes to station 3, which has 6 machines in parallel. The unit must be processed...

A proposed production system consists of five serial automatic workstations. The processing times at each workstation are constant: 11, 10, 11, 11, and 12 (all times given in this problem are in minutes). The part inter-arrival times are UNIF(13.0, 15.1). There is an unlimited buffer in front of all workstations, and we will assume that all transfer times are negligible or zero. The unique aspect of this system is that at Workstations 2 through 5 there is a chance that...
