Hi, can I get help with problem 14 ONLY please.

Gilmore Framing (GF) specializes in framing artwork for mid-sized commercial projects. Its clients are largely brokers who contract to provide "art" to decorate new or renovated hotels. The brokers send the unframed artwork to GF to mount and frame. The process at GF involves two steps, Frame Construction and Mounting. There is one Frame Construction Station and one worker at Mounting. The Frame Construction Station handles the artwork in batches. The batch size is set to be 8 pieces of artworks/batch. A 3-minute setup for each piece of art is required before the batch processing. Then the frames for the whole batch of artworks will be constructed all together, which takes on average 1.2 hours. These 1.2 hours processing time does not change when the batch size changes. At Mounting, art pieces are matted and placed in a frame. Mounting is largely a manual operation and does not require a set up. The worker at the mounting finishes one piece of artwork in 15 minutes. Question 14 6 pts If the demand to the process is 3 pieces of artwork/hour, the stage utilization of Frame Construction is %; the stage utilization of Mounting is %. (If your result is 90%, report 90 in the cell.) Question 15 3 pts Please indicate which of the following CAN improve the process capacity. Increase the batch size at Frame Construction. Reduce the setup time at Frame Construction. Add one more worker to Mounting. All of the above
