1.calculate the capacities of each step of the doughnut-making process. what is the bottleneck of the process? what is the overall capacity of the process?
2. how would your answers in question 1 change if the batch size was doubled to 16 lb.? you may assume that the cycle times and the setup times for each step do not change due to the change in batch size.
3. if johnson decides to keep the batch size at 8 lb. and instead focus on reducing the setup time for the extrusion process, by how much must he reduce the setup time in order to meet his demand?
4. if johnson decides to invest in the set of cutters, what setup time would be needed for johnson to meet demand with 6 cutiers using the standard 8-ib. batch?
5. what do you recommend johnson
