Hi Raj,
I think you're asking how we would coach you to solve these types of problems, is that right?
This is a process optimization/throughput problem. Essentially, whenever we're looking at throughput, we need to figure out which step/s is/are the bottleneck. The bottleneck = where there is less throughput.
Throughput = units/time.
So, in this case, we need to grab potential throughput and multiply it by entitlement to see how many products go through that step/sub-process. Then, within each process, we need to add those sub-process #s together.
The process with the lowest total # (throughput) is your bottleneck and is where we should focus our efforts!

Hi Raj,
Could you please edit your question to provide a bit more detail? We're here to help you, but at this point you're not giving us a lot to hang on to. :)
Best,

Just to add to what others are saying, if this is from a preplounge case, you should point us to it so we can have a look.

Hi Raj (again),
What exactly is the question you are asking, could you please elaborate? It seems that the question underneath the chart is the question the case study asks the candidate.
If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to address your specific situation, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.
Best,
Hagen

Hi there,
Not sure exactly you're after but there's a way to approach these types of questions in conjunction with big tables and lots of numbers.
The key is to create new numbers, but fewer, that collectively tell the story. The question is not testing your engineering skills but your ability to synthesize insights using quant.
Is this going in the right direction? Let me know - happy to elaborate more!
Best,
Moritz
