- Consider the following batch flow process consisting of three process steps performed by three machines. What is the capacity of the process given the following information? Batch size = 50 parts Step 1 - Processing Time = 1 minute/part; Setup time = 20 minutes Step 2 - Processing Time = 2 minute/part; Setup time = no setup Step 3 - Processing Time = 1.5 minute/part; Setup time = no setup Your answer provided to me was 1.881 parts per minute (which also equals 112.8 parts per hour). I understand how you arrived at such answer. However, per my professor's answer key, states an answer of 30 units per hours (which could be wrong and I want to confirm), but my question is - is there any way the answer could be 30 units per hour? Thank you!arrow_forwardA staff assistant at NUBD Corporation recently determined that the first four units completed in a new manufacturing process took 1,000 hours to complete, or an average of 250 hours per unit. The assistant also found that when the cumulative output produced doubles, the average labor time declines by 25%.

The line has four stations in serial. Inputs arrive at station 1 and the output from station 1 becomes the input to station 2. The output from station 2 is the input to station 3 and so on. The output from station 4 is the i nished product. Station 1 can process 2,700 units per month, station 2 can process 2,500/month, station 3 can process 2,300/month, and station 4 can process 2,100/month.
