answer the following questions.

Part 5: Batching The system presented in Figure 2 has three stations and is a perfectly balanced line. There are two companies, FC and BC, that make th same product using this same station setup. Both FC and BC have throughput rate of 1 unit/minute. FC is very lean, and produces using a batch size of 1 (single piece flow). The flow time for BC is 30 minutes. Question 24: What is the average inventory for FC? 30 10 15 3 Part 5: Batching The system presented in Figure 2 has three stations and is a perfectly balanced line.

FC and BC pay the same amount per setup. Choose which of the following statements is correct. OBC has shorter flow time BC has lower inventory holding costs BC has lower setup costs per unit Since BC and FC have the same throughput rate, the two systems are identical Part 5: Batching The system presented in Figure 2 has three stations and is a perfectly balanced line.
