A process has four stages (A, B, C, and D). The stages have output rates of 5 units/hr, 12 units/hr, 10 units/hr, and 7 units/hr, respectively. What is the output rate of this process?
a. |
12 units/hr |
|
b. |
10 units/hr |
|
c. |
7 units/hr |
|
d. |
5 units/hr |
d. 5 units/hr
As among the four stages, the output rate is minimum for A, that would be 5 Units/hr, then the overall output rate will also be the same as that would impede the higher output rate as well.
