If I have system with five stations (S), with each station capable of producing (N) pieces, Determine the the maximum throughput possible for the system. S1(10), S2(12), S3(9), S4(15), S5(10) If I couple this with another production line, of five stations (P), producing (R) pieces, of which two are required by (S) for a complete product, what happens to my production numbers if I run (R) continuously?

A. Output doubles.

B. Output decreases. C. Output remains the same.

D. Output varies with (R) production.
