Q. Process Analysis Problem:
a. The bathtub theory of operations management is being promoted as the next breakthrough for global competitiveness. The factory is an open tank with 200 gallons of capacity. The drain is the outlet to the market also can o/p 50 gallons per hour when wide open. The faucet is the raw material input also can let material in at a rate of 60 gallons per hour. Now, to test your comprehension of the intricacies of operations (assume the tank is empty to begin with):
b. Suppose which instead of a faucet, a 60 gallon container is used for filling the tank (assume a full container is next to the tank to begin with); it takes 1.5 hrs to refill the container also return it to the tank. Elucidate in words explain how the number of gallons in the open tank is changing over time also draw a graph of the situation (gallons in the open tank over time).
