in work day = 1108 wet bbls per day 2. The dryer unit can process 600 bbls wet cranberries per day Looking at the process we know that there is a bottleneck at Drying unit: I. The capacity of the drying unit is 600 bbl /hr which is much lower than the required 1108 wet bbl/day we need. II. On an average day a total of 10‚000 bbl is received out of which 7‚000 bbl is wet. At an average processing rate of 600 bbl /hr it will take 11.67 hours to process. Assuming normal working day of 8

Process Analysis - CBC Projection of the peak demand during the season Projection of demand for processing of cranberries can be taken as equal to the delivery load at the plant. The two major points that we considered while making the projections for the 1981 season were the fact that Mr. Schaffer had estimated the arrivals of wet berries to be 80% of the total quantity and the Cranberry Marketing Order of 1980. It is assumed that the peak load of 1981 will not exceed that of 1980 by more than 0

1 Throughput Throughput measures the number of bits transferred over the communication link over a definite amount of time. In the case of cellular network the data throughput may not be same at each interface; also it is a well known fact that the radio interface is the bottleneck. To get a more accurate value of the user experience in terms of throughput‚ it is highly desired to measure the value from the UE. But practically this may not be feasible as it requires sophisticated applications in
