For the data given in Problem 19.6, use the extended bottleneck model to develop the relationships for production rate Rp and manufacturing lead time MLT each as a function of the number of parts in the system N. Plot the relationships as in Figure 19.12.
Data given in Problem 19.6

The product mix fractions and station processing times for the parts are presented in the table below. The same station sequence is followed by all products: 1 ( 2 ( 3 ( 4 ( 1.
