In the transfer line of Problems 16.20 and 16.22, suppose it is more technically feasible to locate the storage buffer between stations 11 and 12, rather than between stations 15 and 16. Determine
(a) The maximum possible line efficiency and production rate that would result from installing the storage buffer, and
(b) The line efficiency and production rate for a storage buffer with a capacity of 20 parts.
Assume that downtime (Td = 6.0 min) is a constant.
