The process for a basic dental cleaning is relatively straightforward: (1) the customer checks in (2 minutes); (2) a lab techni-cian takes and develops X-rays (2 and 4 minutes, respectively); (3) the dentist processes and examines the X-rays (5 minutes) while the hygienist cleans the teeth (24 minutes); (4) the dentist meets with the patientto poke at a few teeth, explain the X-ray results, and tell the patient to floss more often (8 minutes); and(5) the customer pays and books her next appointment (6 minutes). A flowchart of the customer visit isshown below. Dr. Knott wants to determine the bottleneck time and throughput time of this process.arrow_forward
