three different ways to discover the bottleneck of a process. In The Goal‚ Jonah explains a Bottleneck‚ “is any resource whose capacity is equal to or less than the demand placed on it. Simply put… a bottleneck is “congestion” at any given point in a flow process. The idea is to reduce congestion by balancing the flow. Ideally the flow process should be a little less than the market demand in order to eliminate a bottleneck. When plants keep flow equal to demand if the demand goes up the bottleneck

Examine the service delivery system of Benihana of Tokyo. a. What are the flows? A unique Japanese concept is used to deliver a food service to customers by serving freshly prepared food at the table by a chef using three basic menus. Since only fresh ingredients are used‚ storage is reduced to a minimum‚ i.e. 22% (including non-food areas as employee dressing room and office space) of total space compared to 30% in normal restaurants. The production flow is therefore very short‚ and limited

Chapter 5: Flow Rate and Capacity Analysis 5.1 Objective Chapter 3 introduced the three basic building blocks of process flow namely the (average) flow time‚ (average) flow rate and (average) inventory. It is followed by a sequence of three chapters‚ 4‚ 5 and 6‚ which examine each one of these measures individually. Chapter 5 is concerned with flow rate analysis and issues of capacity. The major managerial concept discussed in the in the chapter is that of the bottleneck. We use the notion
