A factory produces high-quality, custom-made bunkbeds. Making bunkbeds involves four main steps: Cutting and Drilling, Planing and Sanding, Staining, and Kit Assembling. For each step, the amount of worker time needed per bunkbed and the number of workers available are shown in the following table. Step 1. Cutting and Drilling 2. Planing and Sanding 3. Staining 4. Kit Assembling Time (per bunkbed per worker) 1h 2h 0.5h 0.75h Number of workers 7 12 14 15 All workers work 8 hours per day. 1.1 What is the capacity of this factory (in bunkbeds per day)? 1.2 what percentage of the time are the workers in the Staining step busy if this factory receives on average 32 bunkbed orders a day? 1.3 The manager of the factory is considering increasing capacity by merging the Planing & Sanding step and the Staining step. Now, what is the capacity? A factory produces high-quality, custom-made bunkbeds. Making bunkbeds involves four main steps: Cutting and Drilling, Planing and Sanding, Staining, and Kit Assembling.
