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

Process 1

1 000 per day

Process 2

400 per day

Process 3

600 per day

Process 4

280 per day

Process 5

460 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 first,and then any order

b.4, 2, 5, 3, 1

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

d.4, 5, 3, 1, 2
