Suppose it is decided to increase the utilization of the two non-bottlenecks machining stations in the FMS of Problem 19.4 by introducing a new part, part E, into the part mix. If the new product will be produced at a rate of 2 units per hour, what would be the ideal process routing (sequence and processing times) for part E that would increase the utilization of the two non-bottleneck machining stations to 100% each. The respective production rates of parts A, B, C, and D will remain the same as they are in Problem 19.4. Disregard the utilizations of the load/unload station and the part handling system.
