Question 166
Correct Answer: A
The total production throughput is determined by the operation with the lowest capacity in the production line, known as the bottleneck. In this case, although Operation A has a capacity of 32 units/hr, the next step, Operation B, has a lower capacity of 25 units/hr, which means it limits the production. Even though Operation D can handle 27 units/hr, it can't process more than what Operation B supplies. Therefore, the total production throughput is 25 units/hr.

The correct answer is A because it is the bottleneck in the system and the entire system is only as good as its weakest link. Also, the last sentence says each step needs the item from the previous step.
