Question (in proper order)

The operations manager for Dogs R Us is trying to understand the bottleneck in the dog grooming process. Times below are given in minutes per dog, and when there are two or more employees they can process two or more dogs simultaneously.

Process step Time(min./dog) Who

Verify customer information 5 Front desk (2 employees)

Crate the dog 2 Front desk (2 employees)

Wash and dry the dog 20 Washers (3 employees)

Nails and teeth 13 Nail/teeth specialists (2)

Grooming 25 Groomers (4 employees)

Call customer for pick-up 5 Front desk (2 employees)

Assuming that demand and supply exceed capacity, what is the maximum flow rate (in dogs per hour) for this process?

a. 9.2

b. 9.6

c. 10

d. None of the above

Explanation:

average time taken to:

1. verify customer info = 5mins/2 employees = 2.5mins/dog

2. crate the dog = 2min/2 employees = 1 mins/dog

3. wash and dry the dog = 20 mins/3 employees = 6.67min/dog

4. work on nails and teeth = 13 mins/ 2 employees = 6.5 min/dog

5. groom the dog = 25 mins / 4 employees = 6.25min/dog

6. call customer for pick-up = 5 mins/ 2 employees = 2.5 mins/dog

The most time is spent to wash and dry dogs (6.67 mins)

it is therefore one bottleneck

for this process a dog is processed in 6.67 mins

one hour = 60 mins

⇒ (60/6.67) dogs will be processed in an hour

that is, 9 dogs (approx)

hence, none of the above is the right option

Which of the following statements is correct? large corporations are taxed more favorably than sole proprietorships. corporate stockholders are exposed to unlimited liability. due to limited liability, unlimited lives, and ease of ownership transfer, the vast majority of u.s. businesses (in terms of number of businesses) are organized as corporations. most businesses (by number and total dollar sales) are organized as partnerships or proprietorships because it is easier to set up and operate in one of these forms rather than as a corporation. however, if the business gets very large, it becomes advantageous to convert to a corporation, mainly because corporations have important tax advantages over proprietorships and partnerships. most business (measured by dollar sales) is conducted by corporations in spite of large corporationsâ€™ often less favorable tax treatment, due to legal considerations related to ownership transfers and limited liability.
