SHORT ANSWERS129. Explain why a bottleneck limits system output.130. Describe a process from your own personal experience at home or work that suffers from a lack of sufficient throughput. Apply the first four TOC steps to address the situation, assuming you have complete authority to do so.131. Describe three ways that line balancing and line flow layouts are similar to project management and three ways they are different.132. How can Theory of Constraints principles be reconciled with line balancing?PROBLEMS133. Schmidt Industries makes four different snake traps; the Harlan, the Gaylen, the Leah and the Matthew. The Harlan sells for $200 and has $40 in parts and $40 in labor; the Gaylen sells for $150 and requires $30 in parts and $30 in labor; the Leah sells for $100 and has $20 in parts and $20 in labor; and the Matthew sells for $75 but requires only $10 of parts and $10 of labor. Schmidt Industries has four machines (well call them A, B, C, and D for convenience) that are used in the production of each of these products. Each of these machines is available for 40 hours a week and there is no setup time required when shifting from the production of one product to any other. The processing requirements to make one unit of each product are shown in the table.Processing Time on Each Machine in MinutesModelMachine AMachine BMachine CMachine DHarlan1015155Gaylen10101010Leah5101510Matthew55510Schmidt Industries has monthly fixed costs of $5000 and has a demand forecast of 80 Harlans, 60 Gaylens, 40 Leahs and 20 Matthews for the coming month.
