Consider the production process for this pizza manufacturing company. First step of the process is mixing the ingredients. Next step the dough is formed into sheets and cut into pieces in preparation for baking. The cut dough is then baked into pizza and subsequently must be cooled. Final step is packaging.

1. Draw the process diagram.
2. What is the capacity of the baking process step ? (batches per hour)
3. What is the bottleneck of the process ?
4. With unlimited demand, what is the process flow rate (batches per hour)
5. With unlimited demand, what is the utilization of each step ?
6. If the demand is 3 batches per hour, what is the cycle time of the process (in minutes)
7. If the line is empty, how long will it take to complete 50 batches ?
8. If the line is currently full of work in progress, how long will it take to complete 50 batches ?
