6. Consider the following production process for manufacturing biscuits. The first step of the process is mixing, where all of
the ingredients are combined in the correct proportion to form dough. In the next step of the process, the dough is formed
into sheets and cut into pieces in preparation for baking. The cut dough is then baked into biscuits and subsequently must
be cooled. The final step of the process is packaging the biscuits for the consumer.
The following table summarizes the production process along with the processing times at each step of the process. The
process is highly automated, so assume that this is a machine-paced process with one machine available at each step.
