Answer:

a. To find bottleneck resource, we need to determine the utilization of each resource

Processing capacity of Administrator = Available time per week / Processing time = 40*60/20 = 120 cases per week

There are 50 cases per week. So utilization of Administrator = 50/120 = 41.7%

Processing capacity of Senior accountant = 40*60/40 = 60 cases per week.

New cases are 20% of 50 cases per week Therefore utilization of Senior accountant = 20%*50/60 = 16.7%

Processing capacity of Junior accountant = 40*60/15 = 160 cases per week.

Repeat cases are 80% of 50 cases per week Therefore utilization of Junior accountant = 80%*50/160 = 25%

Utilization of Administrator is maximum. Therefore it is the bottleneck resource for 20:80 mix of New and Repeat cases.

b. Flow rate of New cases per week = 50*20% = 10 cases per week

c. Flow rate of Repeat cases per week = 50*80% = 40 cases per week

d. In (a) we have seen that for 20:80 mix between new and repeat cases, Administrator is the bottleneck resource with a capacity of 120 cases per week. Therefore capacity for new cases = 120*20% = 24 per week

e. Capacity for Repeat customers = 120*80% = 96 per week
