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

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
I was very nervous when my thesis proposal submission date came closer. Only a week was remaining when my good friend Josh told me about TheReliableTutor.com. I was not sure but they did a marvelous job. Only within 4 days they prepared a wonderful Thesis Proposal and so I had assigned my entire Thesis to them and was very happy with the grade I got.

Framing the research question is the most important thing for a research paper. It provides the necessary backbone and determines the kind of research it would be. The expert here in HwA, after a deep discussion with me via email, sorted out a simple yet original research question which my professor appreciated very much.
Rob Fox Student
Structuring the arguments while analyzing the Civil Rights movement in America, for my term paper, was bit of a challenge for me. I was unsure of how to proceed or gather information. Researching and then jotting the entire thing down needed certain help and I got that them from HwA. Here the experts not only helped me pinpoint some topics to write but also did a marvellous job in researching and helping out with the entire assignment. It is needless to say that I received excellent grades from my term paper advisor in college.

I was confused with an assignment involving need-based and behavior-based employee motivation strategies when I came to pursue help from HwA. The organizational behavior assignment help experts are friendly here and they helped me with the solution and I got excellent grades.

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
