The smokehouse and the smoking protocol that they are using can have three (3) production runs in an eight-hour workday. However, due to constraints and delays, their actual output is only 2 production runs/batches (design capacity: 4 runs; effective capacity: 3 runs; actual capacity: 2 runs). Based on the existing plant facility layout, identify the parts that cause the constraints like delays. Solve for Efficiency and Utilization. Suggest an alternative layout by moving/transferring the processing areas (blue boxes) to make the production system more efficient. Take note, though, that the smokehouse and the drying facility (yellow boxes) are built-in and immovable. Give a short rationale for each recommendation.arrow_forward
