Dear members,
I would like to receive some additional explanation on why my answer choice does not fit the following:
Fact pattern: Below is data concerning the hours spent by a manufacturer's two products in its two processes.
Product
Process 1 Process 2
A 20 10
B 30 5
Question: What is the constraint?
Answer choices:A Product B in process 1
B Cannot be determined from the information given.
C Process 1
D Product A
My answer choice and consideration: Answer choice B, cannot be determined from the information given. Because to determine the constraint one should know the capacity of both processes.
Correct answer and explanation: Answer choice C, Process 1, because according to the theory of constraints analysis, the constraint operation is the slowest part of the process. In this case, process 1 requires the most total time.
Krind regards,
