A process is described in the attached file that consists of 8 separate operations ( performed by 8 machines) with sequential relationships and capacities ( units per hour ) as shown. If you have the option to increase capacity of one operation step by adding one similar machine, which one you will select to increase capacity of the entire process? What is the maximum capacity you can achieve for the entire process by increasing capacity of this step

2. A process is described in the attached file that consists of 8 separate operations ( performed by 8 machines) with sequential relationships and capacities ( units per hour ) as shown. You had the option to increase capacity of one operation steps by adding similar machine and you increased capacity for step 4 by adding one similar machine and the capacity of step 4 is now 10/hour. Now you have further scope to increase capacity of another machine( for a step) by adding a similar machine. Which machine you will select to increase capacity of the entire process? What is the maximum capacity you can achieve for the entire process by increasing capacity of this step now.

3. A process is described in the attached file that consists of 8 separate operations ( performed by 8 machines) with sequential relationships and capacities ( units per hour ) as shown. What is the current maximum capacity of this process line
