Question #3 Consider the following batch flow process consisting of three process steps performed by three machines. Step 1 Step 2 3 mins unit Step 3 1.5 mins unit No setup No setup Processing time Setup Time C 2 mins unit 20 mins Assume that the batch size is 10 parts. What is the capacity of the process? For a batch size of 50 parts, which step is the bottleneck for the process? What is the ideal batch size (i.e. one that minimizes inventory without affecting process capacity)?
