Question: please help me with this ans PLEASE use the formula sheet that i attached and PLESE mention which formula were used for this question ,

2. Assume you are managing a manufacturing line consisting of two workstations: Decambering and Hemming. The mean effective process time of the first machine is 15 minutes and its coefficient of variation is 1 (i.e., exponential distribution). The second machine has the same coefficient of variation, but this machine takes 14 minutes to process a part. (a) If there is an infinite buffer between the machines, compute the expected WIP, CT, and TH. WIP: TH: CT: (b) Now assume that there is enough space for only 3 parts between the machines (Hint the buffer size, b, is 3.) Recompute the expected WIP, CT, and TH. Compare with Part a.
