Question

Consider the following three-step worker-paced line: Each step employs a single worker. The setup time is fixed per order (batch), e.g. for Step 1, it takes 30 minutes to setup the machine to process 1 order (regardless of how many units are in the order). The run time represents the amount of time it takes the worker to process a single unit. When a worker completes an order, he or she hands it off to the next stage. If only 10-unit orders are produced, the process capacity is:

Answer 1

If only 10-unit orders are produced, the process capacity is:

= 10 units per order

Step-by-step explanation:

The process capacity refers to the total quantity produced from a process within a referenced period of time. This simply means that process capacity refers to the production capacity of a process. It can also refer to the maximum output produced by a resource during a particular production process.
