Currently, there are 450 parts waiting to be produced and there is no other inventory in the system
a. Find Calculate the flow time. Based on this information
b. If Process C were improved so that the production time was reduced to 2 minutes per part, what would be the flow time? Show all work
c. If both Processes B & C were improved so that the production time was 1.5 minutes per part (Machine B) and 2 minutes per part (Machine C) what would be the flow time?
