Process Interruptions / Batching - Setup Time: C&A Furniture uses a four-step process to make its famous wood table: Process Processing Time (minutes) Milling-table 10 top Milling-table 5 stand Assembly Finishing 15 20 There is one milling machine used to mill table top and table stand; one table top and one stand is needed to make each table. The milling machine requires a setup time of 30 minutes to make table tops and a changeover time of 30 minutes to make table stands. You may assume that, after a setup, the milling machine works on one batch of table tops, and after the changeover time, it works on one batch of table stands; this production cycle then is repeated. If the batch size is 10, what is the capacity of the process in tables per minute?
