Answer:
13.19 hours
Explanation:
Station Staffing Processing time (Hours Capacity = Staffing /
per chair per worker) Processing time
Stripping 3 2.5 1.2
Priming 2 1.5 1.33
Painting 3 1.75 1.714
Inspection 1 0.8 1.25
Stripping has the lowest capacity, hence it will be having bottleneck, thus the process capacity is 1.2.
Total time to produce the 1st chair = 2.5 + 1.5 + 1.75 + 0.8
Total time to produce the 1st chair = 6.55 hours
Time to produce subsequent chair = 1/1.2
Time to produce subsequent chair = 0.83 hrs
Total time taken to produce 10 chairs = 6.55 hours + 0.83 hrs*8 Workers
Total time taken to produce 10 chairs = 6.55 hours + 6.64 hours
Total time taken to produce 10 chairs = 13.19 hours
