The bottleneck resource is the available beds and this directly affects the throughput rate.By increasing the image o f available beds the hospital can admit more patients and operate on more of them leading to an increased throughput rate. b) My suggestion would be to first add an additional operation room so the throughput rate of operations from doctors could harmonise that of the operating rooms available at 48 per day. Then I would suggest adding additional beds adding up to as many as 54 (48-30) *3 . This would maximize the number or patients able to be operated on and take care of, reaching the capacity rate for the different stages.
