Scenario B:Suppose you have a four$-$activity sequential process. Throughput capacities in units per minute are shown in parentheses:$$Task $1(3)--->$ Task $2(4)--->$ Task $3(2)--->$ Task $4(5).$No buffers exist between tasks, so an upstream task must wait if the downstream task is busy.$$What is the actual throughput rate for the sequential process as a whole $($i$.$e$.,$ at what rate would units exit task $4)?$ Pick the closest answer.

$\mathrm{.}5$

$1$

$2$

$3$

$4$

$5$

Refer to Scenario B:$$If the process were to operate as described above, what would task $1\text{'}$s utilization be$?$ Pick the closest answer.

$0\%$

$20\%$

$40\%$

$60\%$

$80\%$

$100\%$

Suppose you have a two$-$activity sequential process: Task $1--->$ Task $2.$Task $1$ has a throughput capacity of $10$ units per hour; task $2$ has a throughput capacity of $15$ units per hour. There are no inventory buffers between tasks, so blocking may occur.Which of the following would be true?

Task $1$ would encounter blocking

Task $2$ would encounter blocking

Task $1$ would encounter starvation

Task $2$ would encounter starvation

Which of the following sequences best aligns with the six sigma process improvement model?
