Consider a 5-step process for the National Corporation that includes cutting, drilling, stamping, welding, and painting. The cutting department has 6 machines that each process materials at a rate of 2 minutes per unit. Drilling has 6 machines that each process materials at a rate of 3 minutes per unit. Stamping has 6 machines that each process materials at a rate of 4 minutes per unit. Welding has 4 machines that each process materials at a rate of 2 minutes per unit. Painting has 2 machines that each process materials at a rate of 4 minutes per unit. What is the capacity of the entire five-step process in units per hour? Please enter your answer rounding down to the nearest completed unit.

$\large\boxed{\large\boxed{\text{The capacity of the entire five-step process is 30 units per hour}}}$

Explanation:

The rate of production is determined by the slowest step or process.

Determine the rate of production of each step.

1. The Cutting department has 6 machines that each process materials at a rate of 2 minutes per unit.

rate = number of machines × rate of each machincerate = 6 × 1 unit / 2 minute = 3 units / minute

2. Drilling has 6 machines that each process materials at a rate of 3 minutes per unit.

rate = number of machines × rate of each machincerate = 6 × 1 unit / 3 minute = 2 units / minute

3. Stamping has 6 machines that each process materials at a rate of 4 minutes per unit.

rate = number of machines × rate of each machincerate = 6 × 1 unit / 4 minute = 1.5 units / minute

4. Welding has 4 machines that each process materials at a rate of 2 minutes per unit.

rate = number of machines × rate of each machincerate = 4 × 1 unit / 2 minute = 2 units / minute

5. Painting has 2 machines that each process materials at a rate of 4 minutes per unit.

rate = number of machines × rate of each machincerate = 2 × 1 unit / 4 minute = 0.5 units / minute

Then, the fifth process, painting is the slowest process because it only can process 0.5 units per minute. This is the bottleneck. Even if the other processes worked faster, the production could not exceed the number of machines that can be painted per hour.

To find how many units can be painted or produced by hour multiply the rate by the number of minutes in one hour:

0.5 units/min × 60 min/hour = 30 units / hour.

Therefore, the capacity of the entire five-step process is 30 units per hour.

ans.

heterothermic organisms include those organisms that can switch between homeothermic (having body temperature higher than environment) and poikilothermic (having variation in internal body temperature) strategies.

some migratory birds show heterothermy as they decrease their metabolic rate during cold nights to keep their body temperature low. drop in metabolic rate allows increase in production efficiency of birds that reduces the internal body temperature to make it equal to external cold temperature during cold nights.

thus, the correct answer is 'birds allow their temperature drop in order to increase their production efficiency.'

In canada, the reference base period for the cpi is 2002. by 2012, prices had risen by 21.6 percent since the base period. the inflation rate in canada in 2013 was 1.1 percent. calculate the cpi in canada in 2013. hint: use the information that “prices had risen by 21.6 percent since the base period” to find the cpi in 2012. use the inflation rate formula (inflation is the growth rate of the cpi) to find cpi in 2013, knowing the cpi in 2012 and the inflation rate. the cpi in canada in 2013 is round up your answer to the first decimal. 122.9 130.7 119.6 110.5
