ABC Fabricators manufactures three components that are ultimately assembled as a finished product for exhaust system catalytic converters. Component 1 is first processed at workstation A for 5 minutes. Component 2 is processed at workstation B for 9 minutes. Component 3 is processed at workstation C for 7.5 minutes. All three workstations are independent and take place simultaneously. Next, all three components flow to Station D for assembly. Station D takes 12 minutes. Then the process moves to the shipping area, workstation E, which has two areas within the operation. Workstation E takes 30 minutes. The finished product only needs to go through one of the two shipping areas (they are in parallel). Based on the following information, answer the following: a. What station is the bottleneck and bottleneck time? b. What is the throughput time? c. If the company operates 9 hours per day, 6 days a week, what is the weekly capacity
