Question: Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Processing Time 0.27 min/part 0.22 min/part 0.17 min/part Setup Time 30 min. 20 min. 47 min. Work is processed

Step 1 Step 2 Step 3
Processing Time 0.27 min/part 0.22 min/part 0.17 min/part
Setup Time 30 min. 20 min. 47 min.

Work is processed in batches at each step. Before a batch is processed at a step, the machine at that step must be set up. (During a setup, the machine is unable to process any product.) Assume that there is a dedicated setup operator for each machine (i.e., there is always someone available to perform a setup at each machine.)

(a) What is the capacity of step 1 if the batch size is 31 parts? (Round the answer to 2 decimal places.)

B) For what batch sizes is step 1 (2, 3) the bottleneck?
