Betcha, Inc. is a prominent precision-engineering firm that produces dice for the gaming industry.

The first activity is to make a plain die, at 1 die per minute. The second and last step is to paint a

die's spots, which takes 0.1 minutes per die. This painting step has a setup time of 9 minutes for

each batch of dice placed into a painting chamber. Assume that there exists unlimited demand.

1. Dice are painted in batches of 5. What is the capacity of the process as a whole?

2. What is the batch size that maximizes flow rate with minimal inventory?

How do I assess this question?
