The process below is a simple process for a bakery to make cookies. It consists of mixing the ingredients, letting the dough chill, shaping the cookies, and then baking them. The bakery needs to make 500 sheets of cookies per day. Cookies are baked fresh daily, and they must complete baking within 6 to 8 hours. Completing the baking earlier results in excess inventory that they do not have space for and completing the baking too late will not leave enough time to sell cookies baked at the end of the day. Refer to this diagram for the next three multi-part questions. Mix Ingredients Cool Dough Shape Cookies Bake Cookies 1 hour 10 minutes/batch 7 minutes/batch 1 minute/sheet Max batch=10 sheets 8 minutes/sheet M Max batch=4 sheets 5 stations 10 Stations 3 stations 1. If the bakery wants to expand to allow 700 sheets of cookies per day, what changes, if any, are needed at each step in the process? Assume cookie dough is made the day before. [5 points]
