Nathan's Novelty Books is an industrial printer of fictional romance novels. Each book that gets produced goes through 4 different manufacturing workstations. Nathan's organization has embarked on a journey of implementing lean manufacturing. and has already transitioned from batch processing to single piece flow. This helped the organization improve productivity by 45%. After a recent kaizen event, the manufacturing team was able to make additional improvements. They removed some unnecessary processing steps from the workstation with a bottleneck, and that resulted in a removal of 5 seconds of processing time per item from that specific workstation. Given this improvement, what is the new total time it takes to build the entire batch of 100 books? Workstation A B с D O 3.035 seconds 65 seconds O 1 minute 10 minutes 2.535 seconds Batch Size (Q) 100 100 100 100 Processing Time per Item (in seconds) 10 30 15 10
