There are four steps in the manufacturing process of a stuffed toy: cutting, stuffing, sealing, and packaging. there are two employees each for cutting and stuffing but one each for sealing and packaging. the processing times of cutting, stuffing, sealing, and packaging are 8, 5, 3, and 2 seconds per toy. what is the capacity in toys per minute at the resource "stuffing"?

The capacity of the resource "stuffing" is 24 toys/minute

Explanation:

We can define the capacity of any of thes process as

Capacity = (Number of workers)/(Processing time)

In the case of the resource “stuffing”, we have two workers and a processing time of 5 seconds.

The capacity is then :

Capacity = (Number of workers)/(Processing time)

Capacity = (2)/(5 s) = 0.4 toys/second  = 24 toys/minute

a.   is the correct choice.
