What is the overall capacity for the question in the image

Transcribed Image Text:The image displays a flowchart illustrating the production process for two products.
### Production Process Overview:
- **Product 1 (30% contribution):**
- Begins at the **Shaping Lathe**: 15 units/hour
- Proceeds to the **Milling Mill**: 50 units/hour
- **Product 2 (70% contribution):**
- Starts at its own **Milling Mill**: 31 units/hour
- Then, it splits into two paths:
- **65%** goes to the first **Milling Mill**: 50 units/hour
- **35%** is directed to the second **Milling Mill**: 60 units/hour
Both products eventually converge at the **Polishing Unit**, which operates at 42 units/hour.
### Question:
The final question posed is:
"In the process shown above, what is/are the bottleneck(s)?"
Options to choose from:
- Polishing Unit
- Lathe
- Mill
The chart is meant to aid in identifying potential bottlenecks in the process. Bottlenecks are typically stages where capacity is least or slower, creating delays in the flow of production.
