A steel product is manufactured by starting with raw material (carbon steel wire) and then processing it sequentially through five operations using machines A to E, respectively (see table below). This is the only use that the five machines are put to. The hourly rates for each machine are given in the table. Answer the following questions. Use the original output rates to answer each question (i.e., disregard any changes mentioned in previous questions). Operation: Machine: Hourly unit output rate: Maximum output per hour By By Consider the following questions. a. What is the maximum output per hour of the steel product? products 2 1 A B 40 90 products We lose b. By how much would the output be improved if the output of B was increased to 110? products mu o products 3 4 5 C D E c. By how much would the output be improved if the output for C was increased to 50? products 30 100 80 d. By how much would the output be improved if the output for C was increased to 60? By I e. What is the effect on the system if machine A can only manage an output of 30 in one hour?
