- Define the concept of Bottleneck? Explain what system capacity is? Explain why doubling the capacity of a bottleneck may not double the system capacity?arrow_forwardCAPACITY ANALYSIS WITH SIMULTANEOUS PROCESSES Dr. Cynthia Knott’s dentistry practice has been cleaning customers’ teeth for decades. The process for a basic dental cleaning is relatively straightforward: (1) the customer checks in (2 minutes); (2) a lab techni-cian takes and develops X-rays (2 and 4 minutes, respectively); (3) the dentist processes and examines the X-rays (5 minutes) while the hygienist cleans the teeth (24 minutes); (4) the dentist meets with the patientto poke at a few teeth, explain the X-ray results, and tell the patient to floss more often (8 minutes); and(5) the customer pays and books her next appointment (6 minutes). A flowchart of the customer visit isshown below. Dr. Knott wants to determine the bottleneck time and throughput time of this process.arrow_forwardThere is a canteen set up serving food (Breakfast, Lunch, Snacks-tea, and Dinner) to 500 students in a B school. It has a huge well-furnished dining hall and has a serving zone where students queue to pick up their eatables.

(a)Provide one relatable and relevant example of five of the eight wastes under Lean systems which are likely to be witnessed in the canteen. (b)Recommend lean tools & techniques/system solutions to be employed for curbing each of those five wastes with a line on justification. (c) Suggest three key enablers and measures track the progress on lean in the canteen.arrow_forward
