Question

The following production flow shows Parts O, Q, and T; Subassembly U; and final assembly for Product V.

M to N to O

P to Q

R to S to T

O and Q to U

U and T to V

N involves a bottleneck operation, and S involves a capacity-constrained resource. Draw the process flow.

Short answer

The final assembly of end item V is achieved in the above process flow chart with the help of subassembly U, and component T. Parts O and Q are used to create subassembly U.

Step-by-step solution

Introduction

A bottleneck occurs when a machine is inefficient and has a large backlog. One example is a lack of smelter and refinery supplies, which causes bottlenecks upstream.

Analyse

The following is the process flow chart for the assembly of final product V:

Determine the notation

The list is based are used in the flow chart:

Bottleneck operation =

Capacity constraints resource =

The final assembly of end item V is achieved in the above process flow chart with the help of subassembly U, and component T. Parts O and Q are used to create subassembly U.
