Three machines are used in a group-technology cell to process a family of five parts. Thetable below lists production quantities (Qj), production times (Tpij), and machine fractionsfor each family member (fij). Part E requires a changeover time of 5 min on each machine soit is produced in batches of 5 parts. Nonoperation times (Tno) are the same for all parts andmachines: 25 min per machine. Determine (a) average hourly production rate for the cell,(b) utilization of each machine and average utilization of the cell, (c) manufacturing leadtime, and (d) work-in-process. A spreadsheet calculator is recommended for this problem
