2.Sushma has a thriving business selling her Jute bags through several popular websites. Her business volume has caused her to hire full-time employees. Her business has four main manufacturing operations: 1) cutting fabric (4 min), 2) stitching fabric (7 min), 3) adding zippers, toggles, and liner (10 min), and 4) inspecting, packing, and labeling (5 min). Employees work 7 hours per day. Help Sushma to determine the following:

1. Based on her very high demand, is there a bottleneck and what stage is it? What is the capacity of the process per day?
2. Sushmas employee at step #2 has found a new machine that will enable him to do the stitching faster, at a rate of 5 min per bag instead of 7 min. The machine costs Rs35000. Would you suggest this is a good investment to help Sushma increase her output? Why or why not ?
