Question
Scenario C:
Suppose you are given the process flowchart shown below.
There are no buffers between tasks. Task 1 and 2 produce "Part A", and Task 3 and 4 produce "Part B"; Task 5 assembles each unit of a finished product by combining one unit
of "Part A" with one unit of "Part B". Using this, answer the next 3 questions:
Tpt Cap. = 10 units/hour-
Tpt Cap. = 15 units/hour
Task 1

Task 3
Tpt Cap. = 5 units/hour
Task 2
Tpt Cap. = 8 units/hour
Task 4
Tpt Cap. = 20 units/hour
Task 5
In this scenario, how many units would Task 5 actually produce each hour? Pick the closest answer.
