Suppose that average processing time in each station is 10 minutes per unit (there is no variability in processing times). This means Station 1 works on one unit for 10 minutes; then passes that unit to Station 2. While Station 2 works on that unit, Station 1 starts working on a new unit. Once Station 2 is done with one unit after exactly 10 minutes of processing, it passes it to Station 3 and this goes on.

1.Use your understanding of process analysis concepts to determine: the bottleneck, cycle time (takt time), throughput time (flow time), and WIP (work-in-process) inventory of this process

2.Determine capacity utilization of each station (machine)

3.Compute total number of units of output produced by this process in 5000 minutes. Assume that the system is in steady-state, i.e., it has been running for sometime. Please make sure to show your work. No need to use simulation for this part!
