Three hairstylists, Franois, Bernard, and Mimi run Style-Cut-Go, a downtown walk-in hair salon for busy professionals. The salon does not take appointments. When clients arrive, they first check-in with Bernard's younger sister, Lulu, who staffs the reception desk. Registering with Lulu takes on average 3 minutes. Then, the first of Franois, Bernard, or Mimi who is free will greet the registered client at the reception and take him/her for a shampoo at the back station (10 minutes). The hairstylist then brings the client to a chair for a cut (15 minutes). Finally, the same stylist escorts the client back to the reception desk, offers specialized products, and concludes the transaction (5 minutes). Provide details of your calculations a. What is the bottleneck? (1 Point) b. What is the theoretical (or design) capacity of Style-Cut-Go? (1 Point) c. What would be the impact on theoretical capacity if Lulu took charge of the client immediately after the cut, offered the specialized products and concluded the transaction?
