problem‚ gang… We now that the bottleneck in the process is the Drying unit. Using the diagram‚ we can assess: 1. TPT is 19‚000*.7 wet barrels/12 work hrs in work day = 1108 wet bbls per day 2. The dryer unit can process 600 bbls wet cranberries per day Looking at the process we know that there is a bottleneck at Drying unit: I. The capacity of the drying unit is 600 bbl /hr which is much lower than the required 1108 wet bbl/day we need. II. On an average day a total of 10‚000

Case Report: National Cranberry Cooperative 1. Analyze the current process. Using the process flow map and the current process at Receiving Plant Number 1‚ mark the capacity and utilization of each of the resources. Show the flows of wet and dry berries separately. The capacity and the utilization of each process in the flow map is calculated and shown below. Utilization is solved by dividing the flow (of either the wet or the dry) and dividing it by the capacity for that particular process. Each
