A 7station transfer line has been observed over a 40hr period. The process times at each station are as follows: station 1, 0.80 min; station 2, 1.10 min; station 3, 1.18 min; station 4, 0.95 min; station 5, 1.06 min; station 6, 0.92 min; and station 7, 0.80 min. Transfer time between stations = 7 sec. The number of downtime occurrences = 102, and hours of downtime = {14.5} hr. Determine the average actual production rate in parts/hour.
