A milling machine processes a part with t0 = 12 minutes and (sigma) = 3 minutes. The mean time to failure is 700 minutes and mean time to repair is 250 minutes. The coefficient of variation for the repair time is 1.2. The product of the milling machine is feeding the downstream turning machine. The turning machine has the same t0 and sigma, but the mean time to failure and mean time to repair are 100 minutes and 38 minutes, respectively (the coefficient of variation of the repair time is also 1.2). Assuming arrival to the milling machine is 1.2 parts/hr with an arrival CV = 1. Find the cycle time of the entire line (assume G/G/1).
