A flow line has three stations. The first station has a processing time of 8 minutes, and it has 3 servers. The second has a processing time of 9 minutes, and it has 4 servers. The third station has a processing time of 6 minutes, and it has 2 servers. There is a constant arrival rate of jobs to the line. a. b. C. d. What is the raw processing time, the bottleneck rate of the line and the critical WIP of the line? What is the maximum utilization at each station? What must occur so that maximum utilization is achieved? Assume that the station with the lowest maximum utilization needs one pass of rework at that station a certain percentage of the time. What is the maximum percentage of this rework before the station loses its status as the one with least maximum utilization? Draw a schematic of the line in (c) using symbols from class.
