A three$-$station work cell has a product that must go through one of the two machines at station $1($they are parallel$)$ before proceeding to station $2$ and then on to station $3.$ Both Machine A and Machine B at Station $1$ have a capacity of $30$ units per hour. Station $2$ has a capacity of $12$ units per hour. Station $3$ has a capacity of $15$ units per hour.
