(a) the weekly capacity (batches/week)
In the scenario of NoBull Burger, with two cooks but buying the automated pack-and-label machine to be used at Step 4 of the process. The weekly capacity is 40 batches/week, calculating a five-day work week, each cook working eight hours a day.
(b) the throughput rate (batches/week)
The throughput rate is 40 batches/week because we are limited by our capacity of 40 batches/week.
(c) the utilization of each cook
In one scenario, Cook 1 is utilized 96.61% of the time, and Cook 2 is utilized 100% of the time. The utilization of each cook is based on the actual labor hours used relative to the avaialable labor hours for two cooks working 40 hours a week.
With the remaining 25 minutes that can be used for another task, cook 2 can prepare and cook the mushrooms at the same time that cook 1 is preparing and cooking the onions. Cook 1 can help prep the burgers for the girls.
(d) the throughput time (min)
The throughput time is 118 minutes.
(e) the WIP (batches)
The work in progress IS 2 BATCHES
