Question:
A company assembles a product, for which different components are produced along parallel stations. Say, for example, the product is a suit and the suit pants and the jacket are assembled along different production lines, although cutting the raw materials and packaging and delivery will be performed on both parts combined, i.e., the unit as a whole. The machines, their predecessors along the assembly line, and their respective flow time estimates are presented below:
| Machine | Immediate Predecessor | Time in Hours |
| A | None | 2 |
| B | A | 9 |
| C | A | 9 |
| D | B | 7 |
| E | C | 6 |
| F | D and E | 9 |
| G | F | 9 |
1 -What is the flow time of one unit? Please give your answer in hours!(round to4decimal places)
2- What is the capacity rate of the entire assembly process?
Please give your answer in units/hr! (round to 4 decimal places)
