Question #1

There are three sequential operations (Station-1, Station-2, and Station-3) in a process. Incoming applications go to station-1 first, then to Station-2, finally to station-3, and then leave the process. There are 3 resources in Station-1, 2 resources in Station-2, and 2 resources in Station-3. The HOURLY capacity of EACH SINGLE RESOURCE in these resource pools is 5, 5, and 7, respectively. The process is working at 88% utilization. Compute the utilization of the least utilized station. That is the station whose utilization is not more than any other station. Enter your answer as a percentage with NO % sign and ONE decimal point.

_________?

Question #2

Suppose the capacity of each machine in Station 1 in the Littlefield Technologies game is 14 contracts per day. Suppose there are 5 machines in this station. The utilization of this station is 77%. On average, there are 20 contracts in this station (either in the waiting line or on the machines). Compute the flow time in this station in hours (assume a day is 24 hours). Enter your answer as a WHOLE NUMBER in terms of HOURS with no decimal point.
