We are analyzing the performance of four different machines, all subjected to the same workload. We have calculated the average Cycle Time (CT) and Work in Progress (WIP) for these machines. Which machine has the smallest effective variability? Machine 1: CT=  5   hours  ,  WIP= 15    units Machine 2: CT= 10  hours  ,  WIP= 30    units Machine 3: CT= 20  hours  ,  WIP= 60    units Machine 4: CT= 40  hours  ,  WIP= 120  units
