You are the manager of a
Surgi-Center that performs minor surgical cases. The Center has 5 operating
rooms and, on average, each case takes 60 minutes to perform. After each case
clean-up requires 20 minutes. If the Center schedules its first case for 8:00
a.m., no cases are performed between 12:00 and 1:00p.m., and the last case must
be completed by 5:00, what is the daily capacity of the Center in cases? What
are two ways you can increase the capacity of the
Center?

A process for making a product has five tasks, as shown in the Table
below. All machines are used for each task. A shift consists of 8 actual work
hours. Calculate the yield for the process overall, assuming defective units
are identified through inspection and scrapped at each task. Calculate the
shift capacity, in units for each task. And lastly, which task is the
bottleneck of this
process?
