, Patients are arriving at a clinic at a rate of two per minute. Each patient's visit consists
of four steps: check in, record vital signs, receive treatment, and check out. A
receptionist takes 2 minutes to check in a patient. A nurse takes 4 minutes to record the
patient's vital signs. A doctor spends 10 minutes with a patient. A staff member takes 4
minutes to check a patient out. What is the process capacity in patients per hour? -
ANSWERSfind capacity of each step (1/processing time)
check in = 1/2
vitals = 1/4
treatment 1/10
check out = 1/4
1/10 * 60 mins/hour
= 6 patients/hour
Consider the example of the three-step airport security. If the first step (verify id) has a
capacity of 200 passengers/hr, the second step (search passenger) has a capacity of
180 passengers/hr, and the third step (x-ray items) has a capacity of 240
passengers/hr, which step is the bottleneck? Assume there are ample passengers. -
ANSWERSstep two - lowest capacity
Consider the example of the three-step airport security. If the first step (verify id) has a
capacity of 200 passengers/hr, the second step (search passenger) has a capacity of
180 passengers/hr, and the third step (x-ray items) has a capacity of 240
passengers/hr, what is the utilization of the third step (x-ray items)? Assume there are
ample passengers - ANSWERS75%
utilization = flow rate/step 3 capacity
180/240 = 75%

A machine operates with the following production cycle: 30 minutes of setup, 90
minutes of production. While in production, each batch consists of 360 parts. What is
the capacity of the machine in parts per minute? - ANSWERS3
capacity given batch size =
total units/total time
Total Time = 30 minutes + 90 minutes = 120 minutes
Batch size = 360 parts
Capacity (given batch = 360) = = 3
If the batch size and time per unit stay the same, but the setup time decreases, then
capacity will - ANSWERSIncrease
