A process requires 6 tasks, A, B, C, D, E and F, that must be performed in that order. Currently there are 3 employees that are equally skilled at each task. Employee 1 is assigned tasks A and B, employee 2 is assigned tasks C and D, and employee 3 is assigned tasks E and F. The tasks times (all in seconds) are given in the process table below. For example, task A requires 90 seconds.
Suppose the system started without any work in process inventory (an empty system). How long would this process take to produce 10 units (in seconds)?
A=90 B=34 C=60 D=20 E=50 F=10
