Station 2 Machine A Station 4 Machine A Station 1 Station 3 Station 4 Machine B Station 2 Machine B Station 4 Machine C A production process makes personal protection equipments and has 4 workstations (see the flowchart). The process starts the operations for a unit at station 1. At station 2, a unit needs to be processed at either Machine A or Machine B (the two machines perform the same onerations). . . . The process starts the operations for a unit at station 1. At station 2, a unit needs to be processed at either Machine A or Machine B (the two machines perform the same operations). The unit is then processed at Station 3. After that, the unit needs to be processed at either Machine A, Machine Bor Machine C in Station 4 (the machines perform the same operations), before it leaves the production site. Station 1: 20 minutes . Station 2: Machine A, 42 minutes; Machine B, 42 minutes Station 3: 15 minutes Station 4: 60 minutes for each machine (as shown in the flowchart) It is observed that the utilization of Station 3 is 20%. What is the throughput rate of the system in units/hour? Note: Round your final answer to two decimal places
