Example
Consider a Service process with three subprocess staffed by three executives. All
the three staff are specialists, i.e. a single
person works exclusively on one sub
process. No work ( in manufacturing it is
called inventory and in services it is called
backlog) is allowed to build up between
steps
Sub process A takes 3 mins, B takes 5
mins and C takes 2 mins

Some Observations
Capacity of the process dictated by
bottleneck
Capacity improved by adding one
more resource
Need to do cost benefit analysis
Cross training helps
