Why do we cook ramen noodles first?
When we take an order and start preparing a bowl of ramen, the first action we want to take is to throw a serving of fresh ramen noodles into a noodle cooker. Why do we start with noodles? It is because among all the processes in serving a bowl of ramen, it tends to take the longest. So, we put a serving of fresh noodles in boiling water and start the next process while noodles are being cooked. This is important to understand. We first need to identify the process which takes the longest to finish. Because all the other processes have to follow along to complete one bowl of ramen, we need to begin with that process and finish others.
In order for us to optimize our operations, we want to align all the processes to the one that takes the longest time. Because that process determines our performance (in this case, the time it takes to serve one bowl of ramen), we want to start it first. Fortunately, as we can just leave the noodles after throwing them into a cooker, we can work on and finish the other processes.
