Answer the following questions showing work based on the given assumptions: Stage A
Can produce 20 cars/hour
Initial set up time is 20 minutes when changing the car model or size
Stage B
Can produce 20 cars/hour
Must be shut down for maintenance and cleaning for 30 minutes after every 90 minutes of operation
Stage C
Can produce 18 cars/hour
This stage takes longer due to customization but there is no setup or downtime
now consider this:Part B Multi-model Scenario (use the base model on this from Part A without buffers and/or setup time reduction)
Now consider that you are working with 3 different car models, model x, model y, and model z and that set up is only required when you are changing the model type in stage A. Also consider 8-hour shift per day and 6-day per week operation.

i. Each model must have at least one batch each day
ii. Equal number of batches need to be sequenced by the end of the week
2) How many of each models can I produce?
3) Repeat the above with 4 models
