A closed flow line system has three stations in series. The first station has a processing time of 2 minutes, the second one a processing time of 1 minute, and the third a processing time of 3 minutes. The flow system has constant WIP since it is closed. a. (5) Construct a Gantt chart for the flow system when w = 2 so that steady state is achieved. b. (5) Construct a Gantt chart for the flow system when w = 3 so that steady state is achieved. c. (5) What is the raw processing time, the bottleneck rate and the critical WIP of the line? d. (5) What is the steady-state utilization of the bottleneck station for w W = 3? e. (5) Graph CT and TH as continuous functions of w using the equations from class and verify the values from your Gantt chart analysis using w = 1, w = 2 and w = 3.
