Suppose it takes one hour to assemble the backrest, 1 hour to assemble the
legs and 2 hours to finish the chairs. Also assume that the time of
final assembly for the three types of assembly is limited to 1000 hours
per week. Will this capacity cause a bottleneck in the
assembly? If it causes, what can be done?

That capacity would indeed cause a bottleneck, as time


The required total is 1400 hours.

The proposed solution would be the following:

Inform the client that a maximum of 200 chairs can be produced.


Increase an operator in the bottleneck process.
Increase efficiency by 40% in order to fulfill the order.

e) Lamp Assembly -> 5min x 800 = 4000min = 66h 40min

f)EnsambleTotal 441h 40min

If the time is insufficient, the number of workers could be increased.

h) If the waiting time for the assembly of the lamps extends from 1 to 2
weeks, what changes will be needed if the material plan is adjusted
to this change?

If the assembly time of the lamps extends by 1 to 2 weeks, it


you must anticipate placing orders for the parts or pieces in order to be able to
to fulfill the order.
