The three-station work cell at Pullman Mfg., Inc. is illustrated in the figure below. It has two machines at station 1 in parallel (i.e., the product needs to go through only one of the two machines before proceeding to station 2). a) The throughput time isminutes (enter your response as a whole number).b) The bottleneck time of this work cell isminutes per unit (enter your response as a whole number)c) is the bottleneck station.If the firm operates 11 hours per day, 6 days per week, the weekly capacity of this work cell isunits (enter your response as a whole number). The image represents a production flowchart with three stations involved in the manufacturing process.1. **Station 1**: - Two machines, Machine A and Machine B, operate independently at this station. - Both Machine A and Machine B take 20 minutes per unit.2. **Station 2**: - This station processes each unit in 3 minutes. - Units from both Machine A and Machine B are directed to this station.3. **Station 3**: - This station processes each unit in 4 minutes. - It receives units directly from Station 2.Arrows indicate the direction of unit flow through the stations. The process begins at Station 1, moves to Station 2, and then proceeds to Station 3.

Ans) Machine A has 20min/unit Machine B has 20 min/unit Step 1 combine capacity: 1 / Combine Capacity = (1/20)+(1/20) 1/Combine Capacity = (2/20) Combine Capacity = 10 min. Machine C Capacity = 3 min/unit Machine D Capacity= 4 min/unit 1) Throughput time = (Machine A or Machine B + Machine C + Machine D) = 20+3+4 = 27 min 2) Bottleneck is the slowest activity of all Bottleneck = 10 min 3) Station 1 is bottleneck 4) Total hours in week = 11*6 = 66 hrs = 66*60 min Weekly Capacity = 66*60 / Bottleneck = 66*60/ 10 = 66*6 = 396
