Two-step Process Utilization: A two- used to finish a product: painting and drying. There are 5 workers and each one takes an average of 60 minutes to paint each unit. Drying takes place in an oven that can hold up to 100 units and it takes 5 minutes to load each unit. Once all the units are loaded into the oven, it takes 6 hours to dry each load. Assume that the process is capacity constrained (so the demand rate...
