Question 13 (7.5 points) H&M uses the following flow chart for its production process of clothing: Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Setup: 30 minutes Run: 2 minutes Setup: 50 minutes Run: 3 minutes Setup: 40 minutes Run: 5 minutes Each step employs a single worker who is not cross-trained for any other step. The setup represents the amount of time each separate worker spends setting up the machine for each order. No units can be processed on a machine while it is being set up. The runtime represents the amount of time it takes the worker to process a single unit. Note that there is a separate worker at each step, and workers can work concurrently. Assume the batch size is 10. At each station, the worker sets up the machine, runs 10 units through the process, then sets up the machine for the next batch. At the beginning, the worker at step 1 sets up the machine, runs 10 units, and then delivers those 10 units to the worker at step 2, and so on. If all three workers start at the same time and there is no current inventory in the system, what is the throughput time for a batch of 10 units to be produced? 130 min. 120 min a single unit.
