Question: Consider the following batch-flow process consisting of three process steps performed by three machines: Process Time 0.20 min/unit 0.40 min/unit 0.25 min/unit Setup Time 30

Consider the following batch-flow process consisting of three process steps performed by three machines:

Process Time 0.20 min/unit 0.40 min/unit 0.25 min/unit
Setup Time 30 mins 20 mins 35 mins

1.) Suppose units are produced in batches of 50, what is the capacity of the entire process (in units/min)? 2.) Would Step 3 ever be a bottleneck? If yes, please define under what condition in terms of batch size (i.e. when batch size is < or > or = a number) that Step 3 will be a bottleneck.

Choices: No, Step 3 will never be a bottleneck.

Yes, B<200.

Yes, B>100.

Yes, B>200.

Yes, B<100.
