A manufacturing plant has four stations in the assembly line (illustrated in the image above). A unit needs to be processed at either Machine A or Machine B for Station 2(parallel lines, both lines performing the same operations). The box is then processed at Station 3. After that, the unit needs to be processed at either Machine A, Machine B or Machine C in Station 4 before leaving the production line. The process time of each station/machine is indicated in the flowchart. What is the capacity rate of this system measured in units/minutes?
