CDC Discrete Fabricators wants to produce parts in batches of 300 parts. Each part must be processed sequentially from workstation A to B to C to D.

a. How many seconds is required to produce the batch under the assumptions of batch processing?

b. How many seconds is required to produce the batch under the assumptions of single-piece flow processing?

c. Compare the two solutions in terms of time saved and any other issue(s) you think important.
