A shop floor consists of three machines and produces three types of products. Each machine is dedicated to process a particular type of part. The machine processing time is $8$ minutes and parts arrives at the shop floor each in $3$ minutes. Currently an operator $($travel speed $5$m$/$min$)$ is involved in transferring the product from the storage to the three machines. A transporter $($speed $20$ m$/$min$)$ carries bunch of $6$ items to the sink. Run time for machine $1128$ minutes. Find,

$1.$Throughput of shop floor. $($Refer provided excel sheet for run time value$).$

$2.$ Find output by type.

$3.$ Suggestions for optimizing the shop floor
