Assume a production process that typically moves the following number of products through its five processes:

Process 1

1 000 per day

Process 2

1 400 per day

Process 3

150 per day

Process 4

580 per day

Process 5

560 per day

Assuming there is room for improvement in all processes, in what order of processes would the firm apply the theory of constraints to remove the bottlenecks?

Select one:

a.4,5,3,1,2

b.Work must be carried out in order of the physical flow of activities, i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

c.3,5,4,1,2

d.3 first, and then any order
