Consider a line consisting of only one machine. This machine takes on average 4 minutes (te=4 min) to complete a job and Ca2=Ce2=1. The arrival rate of the parts to this machine is 1/8 part/minutes. Assume that there is enough space for only 5 parts between the machines (Hint: the buffer size, b, is 5.) Compute the expected CT of this production line.
