how do i calculate the throughput time? Ahow do i calculate the throughput time?

A production process at Kenneth Day Manufacturing is shown in the figure below. The drilling operation occurs separately from, and simultaneously with, the sawing and sanding, which are independent sequential operations. A product needs to go through only one of the three assembly operations (the operations are in parallel). U 2.5 units/hr 1.8 units/hr Assembly 0.8 units/hr Sawing Sanding Assembly Welding 6 units/hr 0.8 units/hr Drilling 1 5 units/hr Assembly 0.8 units/hr a) Sanding is the bottleneck. b) The bottleneck time is 33.33 minutes per unit (round your response to two decimal places). c) The throughput time of the overall system is 133.55 minutes (round your response to two decimal places)
