Question $14$

A line process at a manufacturing plant contains three workstations, A$,$ B$,$ and C in sequence A$-$B$-$C$.$ The average production capacity at each station is as follows:

Station A: $52$ parts per hour; Station B: $18$ parts per hour; Station C: $37$ parts per hour

Management suggests that new equipment be purchased to increase the capacity of Station C so that it can produce $60$ parts per hour, which is also the demand rate for the parts. What is your response?

$1$ point

Do not do anything. The process seems to be running fine as it is$.$

Do not purchase the new equipment. Management should focus on increasing the production capacity of Station B first.

Purchase the new equipment. Any improvement in capacity will save money.

Purchase the new equipment and limit its production rate to $52$ parts per hour.
