Question

What are guidelines that needs to be followed for managing bottlenecks during optimization ?

Select one or more:
a. Increase memory space to make the program efficient in terms of speed.
b. Do performance testing on critical methods carrying business logic.
c. Do not cache the result.
d. Identifying benefits of implementing complex algorithm does not outweigh the time taken to create it.

Answer 1

Answer:

• Do performance testing on critical methods carrying business logic

Answer 2

Managing bottlenecks

Explanation:

• The process that limits production is discovered at this step.
• Because assembled computers are backing up at department 4, management at Computers, Inc. has identified department 4 as the bottleneck.
• To keep up with the inflow of computers from departments 1, 2, and 3, quality testing cannot be done quickly enough.
• This delay is caused by a lack of available labour hours for testing. The quantity of labour hours available to do testing has been recognised as the restricted resource.
• Computers, Inc. would prefer to reduce the number of hours spent on quality testing at this time. We'll calculate the contribution margin per unit of constraint to help us achieve this goal (the unit of constraint is labour hour in this example).
• The focus of production will thus be on the items that have the biggest contribution margin per labour hour. This information is provided for each product in "Contribution Margin per Unit of Constrained Resource for Computers, Inc."
• The purpose of this phase is to redirect non-bottleneck resources to department 4's bottleneck. Improving efficiencies in other departments isn't helping to reduce the bottleneck in department 4 right now.
• As a result, Computers, Inc. must strive to shift resources from other departments to Department 4 in order to lower the number of computers that need to be checked.
• The purpose of management is to loosen the constraint by giving department 4 more labour hours. Employees from departments 1, 2, and 3 may be transferred to the quality testing department, for example.
• Another possibility is to allow department 4 employees to work overtime. Perhaps management will think about employing more people for department 4.
• Once the bottleneck in department 4 is removed, a new bottleneck will almost certainly emerge somewhere else.
