4 points possible (graded)
In a ski production center, we are looking at a certain processing line where skis are given the finishing touch to give them sharp edges.
This is done in a 3-step grinding process.
-- First, the edges are given a Rough Grinding,
-- then a Medium Grinding.
-- and then every ski is given an optimal edge with a careful Fine Grinding.
The processing times are:
-- Rough Grinding: 5minunit
-- Medium Grinding: 7 min/unit
-- Fine Grinding: 11minunit
Please answer the questions below. (Note: We assume unlimited resources and unlimited demand)
What is the bottleneck of this processing line?
Rough Grinding
Medium Grinding
Fine Grinding
What is'the capacity of the medium grinding process in skis/hour? Remember, the processing time for Medium Grinding is 7minunit.
(Round to two decimal places. Note the answer is in skis/hour, not skis/minute).
5.45 skis/hour
12.00 skis/hour
8.57 skis/hour
