two machines at station $1$ in parallel $($i$.$e$.,$ the product needs to go through only one of the $2$

machines before proceeding to station $2).$ First, find the process cycle time and system

process time of this work cell. If the firm operates $8$ hours per day, $6$ days per week, find the

weekly capacity of this work cell. Which of the following is true? $(10$ pts$)$
