Answer:
A. 15 per min or 900 bottles per hour
B. Station 4
C. No increase
Explanation:
a) Calculation to determine the processing capacity (bottles/hr) for the machine paced line
Output of station 1 = 60 /1
Output of station 1 = 60 per minutes
Output of station 2 = 60/3
Output of station 2 =20 per minute
Output of station 3 = 2x 60/5
Output of station 3 =24per minute
Output of station 4 = 60/4
Output of station 4=15 per minute
Based on the above calculation the PROCESS CAPACITY  of the machine paced line will either be  15 per minute or 900 bottles per hour (15minx60)
b)The BOTTLENECK Â in the process will be STATION 4
c) In a situation were an identical labelling machine is been  added to the process there won't be any  increase in the processing capacity in terms of bottles/hr reason been that the bottleneck is not the labelling machine.
