Solution
To determine which category of employees should be increased to maximize production capacity, we need to calculate the total time taken by each category to complete their part of the work on the officer's uniform.
- Cutter: 20 minutes
- Tailor: 60 minutes
- Assistant: 20 minutes
Now, let's calculate how many uniforms each category can complete in a day (8 hours = 480 minutes):
- Cutter: 480/20 = 24 uniforms
- Tailor: 480/60 = 8 uniforms
- Assistant: 480/20 = 24 uniforms
From the above calculations, it's clear that the tailors are the bottleneck in the production process as they can only complete 8 uniforms per day, compared to the 24 uniforms that the cutters and assistants can complete. Therefore, to increase production capacity, the company should hire more tailors.
