    The document analyzes the operations of a fruit processing facility. It finds that the drying process has insufficient capacity compared to demand, operating at 168-224% of capacity for bulk and bag drying. This causes a backlog in the wet storage bins, leading to truck waiting times of up to 8 hours and costs of $8,300. Expanding drying capacity could eliminate this bottleneck and reduce costs.
