An output of 900 units per shift (7.5 hours) is desired for a new processing system. The system requires the product to pass through four stations where the work content at each station is 30 seconds. What is the required cycle time for such a system?b. How efficient is your system with the cycle time you calculated?c. Station 3 changes and now requires 45 seconds to complete. What will need to be done to meet demand (assume only 7.5 hours are available)?
