Process Bottleneck
Question
Georgette Scissors, a hair stylist, is about to open a hair salon in University City. The following data is taken from her business plan. Following the demand projection, one customer arrives every 20 minutes starting at 9AM with the last customer arriving at 5:40 pm. The customers arrive exactly every 20 minutes because they receive appointments (to simplify the analysis, you can assume that every customer shows up for her appointment and does so exactly on time). Customers arrive to a waiting area with unlimited capacity and then follow the same sequence of steps shown below:
Step 1. Color hair. 30 mins/ customer.
Step 2. Sit under Bonnet drier. This is a chair-mounted drying hood that does not require an attendant. 25 mins/customer
Step 3. Rinse hair. 15 mins/customer
Step 4. Cut hair. 20 mins/customer.
Step 5. Style hair. 15 mins/customer.
Step 6. Payment. 5 mins/customer.
Georgette will be solely in charge of cutting customers’ hair (Step 4). Georgette will hire four workers to help her with coloring (Step 1), rinsing (Step 3), styling (Step 5) and collecting payments (Step 6). Each of these employees is exclusively dedicated to one of these four tasks. Georgette will also purchase one bonnet drier for Step 2, which does not require a worker to be involved in the activity.
Assuming each worker performs only one kind of operation, what is the process bottleneck?
Summary
This question belongs to Operations management and discusses about the process bottleneck of the operations given in the case study.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
I am very happy with the timely delivery, value for money and 24x7 availability of the online assignment experts. The tutors assigned really listened to my requirements and delivered the assignment help to my exact specifications. Thank you so much TheReliableTutor
Gartner Student
I wanted to do a engineering dissertation on data structure but was confused on how to identify a topic and write a report. The engineering thesis and dissertation advisors here at TheReliableTutor had an online live session with me and after understanding my requirements they came up with three suggested Research Proposal Writing topics
Sam Essex Student
The topic I had selected for my dissertation required to include a report on the local markets of New South Wales. It was difficult getting help online as the data available are mostly generic and difficult to understand cohesively. Moreover, the majority of the online dissertation writing services online are located abroad somewhere in USA or UK. I was happy to see that HwA has dissertation writing helpers from not only Australia, but New South Wales itself and they cater specifically to students like us, who are from or studying in Australia.
Amelia Cairns Student
I am very particular about deadlines and I needed my stock valuation assignment well before deadline to go through the essay and make sure that it was exactly according to the guidelines that I had given. Most online assignment help providers that I have used had failed in this very step, but the finance assignment expert at HwA delivered the fully completed assignment well before the deadline. The best part was that when I went through the finished assignment I was left with no doubts about the assignment question.

"I knew my research proposal needs to be fantastic to create the first impression. I am a regular client of HelpWithAssingment.com and things worked out fine. Not only did they help me identify the topic but also at the same time they wrote a fantastic research proposal which had impressed my professor very much

Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
