Consider the simple 3-station assembly line illustrated below, where the 2 machines at Station 1 are parallel, i.e., the product only needs to go through one of the 2 machines before proceeding to Station 2. What is the cycle time of the system (in minutes)? Station 1 Machine A Capacity: 3 units/hr. Station 1 Machine B Capacity: 3 units/hr. Station 2 Station 3 Capacity: Capacity: 5 units/hr. 10 units/hr.
