LO3-2, 3-4, 3-5 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. Process Step Mixing Activity Time (Minutes per Batch) Forming Baking Cooling Packing 15 10 12 18 10 a. What is the capacity of the baking process step (in batches per hour)? b. What is the bottleneck of the manufacturing process? c. Assuming unlimited demand, what is the process flow rate…
