Question: HAL computer has a printed circuit board line with 2 stations. The first station ( resist apply ) applies a photoresist material to the circuit

HAL computer has a printed circuit board line with 2 stations. The first station (resist
apply) applies a photoresist material to the circuit boards. The second station (expose)
exposes the boards to UV radiation to produce a circuit pattern that is later etched
onto the boards. Analysis of the line shows that resist apply has an average process
time of 8 minutes with a coefficient of variation of 1.0, and expose has an average
processtime of 14 minutes with a coefficient of variation of 2.0. Also, and not included
in the process times, resist apply has an MTTF of 15 hours and an MTTR of 20 hours
both based on an exponential distribution, while expose has an MTTF of 1 hour and
MTTR of 14 minutes. Jobs arrive at the resist with an arrival rate of 1 job per hour with
an arrival coefficient of variation of 2
