Problem 4: (20 points) B (10) (10) (10) I (4)

Problem 4: (20 points) B (10) (10) (10) I (4) Rework probability =0 Assume a process that produces 100 units per week has 3 stages A, B, C (after the order comes in). The 4th stage is Inspection I. The graphic above shows the time taken to move from one stage to the other in minutes after the order. Inspection takes 4 minutes. What is the cycle time if a) The rework probability is 0. That means all pass inspection. there is no rework? b) What will happen to process cycle time for production of 100 units if say even 10% are sent back for rework to stage B? (In other words, rework probability=0.1)
