The entire process flow starts with the input of three different parts, Part I, Part II and Part III, each entering a different input line. Three parts meet later for the welding, whichever welding station is available (two identical welding stations work independently). After welding is completed, the product is sent to one of the three assembly stations (which are in parallel). The chart also shows the processing time per unit (in minutes) for each operation. Each of sawing, sanding, drilling and reshaping stations is handled by a different worker. Two workers handle welding, each at one welding station. Another three workers handle the assembly process independently, one at each assembly station.
