Question

A production process has six subsequent stages, each with their own specific resources and performing crucial tasks. Four of these stages have a capacity of 20 units per hour, while the other two stages have a capacity of 10 units per hour. What is the best conclusion?

Answer 1

Answer: Both stages with a capacity of 10 units per hour can be considered bottlenecks.

Explanation:

From the information given in the question, the best conclusion is that both stages with a capacity of 10 units per hour can be considered the bottlenecks.

It should be noted that the bottleneck in the chain of processes, is the one that has the limited capacity and this then reduces the capacity of the whole chain and slows down production.
