Question

Steven Starr has an idea for a desert he is preparing to sell via food truck for restaurant week- grilled bananas with Belgian chocolate ganache. The bananas go through a 4-step process consisting of pealing, filling, grilling, and the last 2 steps are performed simultaneously- splashing and wrapping. Pealing takes 1 minute, filling takes 2 minutes and grilling takes 5 minutes. Splashing takes 3 minute and wrapping takes 3 minutes. a. The bottleneck of the process is _____, with an hourly capacity of _____.

Answer 1

Answer:

a) grilling

b) 12 grilling process per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

the bottleneck in this process is grilling, which slows down production by taking a considerable amount of time.

Grilling takes 5 minutes, which is the longest of any other stage of process

In one hour there are 60 minutes

The hourly rate of grilling is therefore 60/5 = 12 grilling process per hour
