Correct/Complete Question:

What is the time of the slowest workstation in a production system?

A. utilization

B. bottleneck time

C. effective capacity

D. throughput time

Answer:

B, bottleneck time

Explanation:

A bottleneck in a production system refers to a constraint in the production system where supply takes the longest time to meet up with demand for a particular good.

In the production processes, bottleneck time is the time takencapacity of the ful in a certain process of production as a result of the limited capacity of the process, thereby reducing the entire production chain.

Simply put, a bottleneck is a delay in time of one of the production process thereby slowing down the entire production system.
