Assuming the original times listed in the initial description, Chic-ken Rulez now wishes to improve the process by reducing the time to deliver a meal box. Customers often place an order and leave the counter area to find seating.
This is the root cause for delivery times being so long because on average a customer's meal order is called 3 times before it is actually picked up, completing the delivery process. To reduce this process time, Chic-ken Rulez is going to provide customers with a GPS tracker at the time of the order.
The order process is the same except now the box and delivery activity will be two separate activities. Delivery is now performed by food runners that use a handheld device to locate the GPS device and deliver a customers ordered meal box. It now takes 2 minutes to box a meal. Based on preliminary tests, the average time to locate a GPS device and deliver a meal box in the food area takes 7 minutes.
What is the flow time of this redesigned process?

Use the description below to answer the next 2 questions:
Jeff and his roommate are in the cake baking business. When they receive an online order, Jeff prepares a bowl and mixes cake batter which takes 6 minutes. He then pours the batter into a baking pan that holds 1 cake (2 minutes). His roommate then puts the cake pan in the oven and sets a timer (1 minute). Cakes bake in the oven for 9 minutes and then are cooled outside the oven on a rack for 5 minutes. Finally the roommate takes 2 minutes to box a cake and then collects payment from the arriving customer (1 minute).
Each order is composed of a two tier cake (2 cakes). Also Jeff and his roommate can only perform their assigned activities and cannot perform the other's. Although the mixing bowl can hold batter for two cakes at one time, assume the oven can only hold one cake pan at a time. As mentioned above, pouring batter into each pan takes 2 minutes, both cakes must be cooled before boxing, and each cake is put into the box separately one on top of the other.
Note: It would help if you draw the process flowchart, but it's not required.
