- n a manufacturing process, a molded part spends 7 hours in inventory before being placed in a deburring machine, where the part is processed for 2 minutes. After deburring, the part spends 4 hours in inventory waiting for its turn on the polishing machine. The part then spends 7 minutes in polishing before waiting 6 hours in line to be painted.

Multiple Choice O O O If the bottleneck has nothing to work on, the overall capacity of the process will be lower than it could be. If the bottleneck is prevented from working (e.g., it has nowhere to put its output), the overall capacity will be reduced. Blocking the bottleneck will increase the coefficient of variations of the arrival process, which decreases capacity. Blocking the bottleneck increases inventory turns, which increases the annual holding costs. It is not good to block the bottleneck because there are economies of scale in inventory management.arrow_forwardIn a job shop, effective capacity is only 88 percent of design capacity, and actual output is 69 percent of effective output.
