Consider the following process. It has 4 stages: machine A1 is at stage 1; after stage 1 the production continues with stage 2 in which there are four machines B1, B2, B3, and B4 in parallel. Stage 2 is followed by stage 3 with three machines in parallel and they are called C1, C2, and C3. After that, stage 4 comes with two machines D1 and D2 which are again in parallel.
| Machine | A1 | B1 | B2 | B3 | B4 | C1 | C2 | C3 | D1 | D2 |
| Processing Time | 6 | 14 | 22 | 22 | 20 | 20 | 14 | 20 | 12 | 16 |
