Part $3.$ Process Analysis

The new computer controlled NCX machine has replaced $3$ older machines. Before the replacement,

each part required two minutes of processing on the first machine, then eight minutes of processing

on the second machine, and finally four minutes on the third. $($Each of these machines had a dedicated

operator.$)$ The new NCX$-10$ machine can do all $3$ steps in $10$ minutes per part. Please help answer questions $1$ through $4$

Question $1$

The capacity for the first machine in the initial configuration was:

A$.0\mathrm{.}5$ units$/$minute

B$.0\mathrm{.}1$ units$/$minute

C$.2$ units$/$minute

Question $2$

The bottleneck in the initial configuration was:

A$.$ the second machine

B$.$ the first machine

C$.$ the third machine

Question $3$

As a result of the introduction of the NCX$-10,$ the cycle time for this process has:

A$.$ increased

B$.$ decreased

C$.$ not changed

Question $4$

As a result of the introduction of the NCX$-10,$ the flow time for this process has:

A$.$ decreased

B$.$ increased

C$.$ not changed
