a) What is the capacity of this process inunits per hour?

b) Suppose there is variability in theprocessing time at step 2. Specifically, the coefficient ofvariation of processing time at step 2 is 2. However, there is novariability in the processing time at step 1. Now what is the totaltime needed for a part to go through step 2?
