After everything is done you get a rubber stamp mark on the side of your mask. The process is presented below with the cycle time of each step shown in minutes:[pic]

a) (10 points) This process has a throughput time of _____5_____.

1) 4 minute

2) 2 minutes

3) 3 minutes

4) 12 minutes

5) 15 minutes

b) (10 points) Capacity of this process per hour is ____2_____.
