Each resource is operated 10 hours each day. If demand is 100 for each of the three types of products, then what is the (implied) utilization of the "Forming" resource type? Process Time (minutes) Resource # Processors H S W Extrusion 2 3 4 2 Forming 2 6 3 2 Finishing Packaging 1 0 2 0 3 9 0 3 Question 3.
