SOLUTION TO PRACTICE PROBLEM

 Beds are made in 04 batches

 Available hours per week: 40 Hrs
 No of steps in the process: 9 steps

1. If only one worker is performing the total job for building bunk beds the capacity in beds
per week is as follows,

Total set up time: 130 Mints

Total run time per batch: 1,331.6 Mints
Total manufacturing time: 1,461.60 Mints per batch
No of hrs available per week: 2400 Mints (40*60)
No of batches per week: 1.64
No of beds per week: 6 Beds

Total time required to process a batch of 4 bunk beds is 1,461.60 Mints. Accordingly
following table shows the capacity of each process.
