Question: In a linear sequence of operations A , B , C , D , and E , each operation receives one unit from raw materials

In a linear sequence of operations A, B, C, D, and E, each operation receives one unit from raw materials or the prior operation and outputs one unit. Operation A produces 11 units a day, operation B produces 6 units a day, operation C produces 10 units per day, operation D produces 9 units a day and operation E, final assembly, produces 8 units a day.
Operation E receives inputs from other parts of the process that do not pass through the constraint and it sends its output to shipping.
Demand is for 8 units a day.
