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

Question 1: 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:

Option a. 4,5,3,1,2

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

Option c. 3,5,4,1,2

Option d. 3 first, and then any order
