Three Processes Are Involved in the Manufacturing of Chemical Z

question 1

Multiple Choice

Three processes are involved in the manufacturing of Chemical Z. First, the raw mixture goes through the Mixing Process, then the Heating Process, and finally the Bottling Process. The hourly production capacity of the three processes is 400 units, 600 units and 400 units respectively. Assume that a recent process improvement has resulted in a 20 per cent increase in the capacity of the Bottling Process. This process improvement will:

• A) increase the production of Chemical Z by 80 units per hour.
• B) increase the production of Chemical Z by 120 units per hour.
• C) increase the production of Chemical Z by 200 units.
• D) have no effect on the production level per hour.
