Identify the bottleneck workstation (1 points) c. Find a repeating cycle or product order entry onto the line that smooths the production rate of the bottleneck workstation without building unnecessary inventories or shortages for any product during the cycle (1 points)Explanation / Answer
a. in the given values, the task 10 has demand for more than 100 units, the demand for 10task are ; 50+ 55= 105, workstation 8 also having demand for more than 100 units, the demand is = 65+ 62.5= 127.5 units
b. the bottleneck workcenter is 8 unit
c.
