Question 3. Consider the assembly below with their production rates (capabilities): Station 1 Machine A Station 2 Station 3 Station 1 Machine B Capacity: 5 units/hr. Capacity: 10 units/hr. a) If both machines in Station 1 has a capacity of 4 units/hr and any job enters Station 1 can either processed by Machine A or B equally well, then what is the daily capacity of this assembly line? (Given that the line's effective duration of availability, work, is 7 hours a day) b) Part a condition is the same but also if machines A and B are not perfect but each machine has a yield rate of 50%, then what is the hourly capacity of this assembly line, given that the other Stations are perfect (that means 100% yield rate)
