Station 2 Machine A Station 4 Machine A 60 min/unit Station 1 Station 3 Station 4 Machine B 60 min/unit Station 2 Machine B Station 4 Machine C 60 min/unit 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 doing the exact same thing). The box is then processed at Station 3. After that, the unit needs to be processed at either Machine A, Machine B or Machine in Station 4 (parallel lines, all lines doing the exact same thing) before leaving the production line. The process times of the individual stations/machines are shown as follows. A manufacturing plant has four stations in the assembly line (illustrated in the image above).

The process times of the individual stations/machines are shown as follows. Station 1: 8 minutes Station 2: Machine A, 50 minutes; Machine B. 50 minutes Station 3: 19 minutes Station 4: 60 minutes for each machine (as shown in the flowchart) It is observed that the utilization of Station 3 is 45%. What is the throughput rate of the system in units/hour? Note: Round your final answer to two decimal places. Your
