Question

Since Jack believes that Work Center 3 is his bottleneck, he
has asked you to do the following:
(a) Calculate the percentage of planned output needed to
complete the planned inputs (planned input 1 backlog/
planned output) at Work Center 3.
(b) Calculate the percentage of planned input that actually
happened (actual input 1 backlog/planned input 1
backlog).
(c) Calculate the percentage of available output that was
actually accomplished (actual output/planned output) at
Work Center 3.
(d) Given your results, do you believe that Jack is correct in
assuming that Work Center 3 is his bottleneck? Justify
your answer.
