Question $1$

Run Scenario $1$ with $40$ policies in process $($WIP $=40),10$ at each workstation. Watch the red policy as it goes through the system. What is the turnaround time $($TAT$)($round to the nearest hour$)?$

Question $2$

What would the TAT be in Scenario $1$ if there were $240$ units in the system initially $($round to the nearest hour$)?$

Question $3$

Suppose you walk into a similar organization as Scenario $1$ that has a $15-$step process running at steady state. You count total WIP of $720$ units and are told that the slowest workstation $($bottleneck$)$ has a task time of $5\mathrm{.}0$ minutes. What is your estimate of the turnaround time for the whole process, in hours?

Question $4$

Before the floater is assigned in Scenario $2,$ where is the bottleneck in this process? $($a $=$ Workstation $1,$ b $=$ Workstation $2,$ c $=$ Workstation $3,$ d $=$ Workstation $4)$
