Process Analysis for Making a Shirt with an Additional Worker

The process flow diagram for making a shirt consists of five steps: A, B, C, D, and E.
A second worker has been hired to duplicate task D in the process.
Shirts that have been through task C can now go to either of the two workers on task D.
The product still requires all five steps (A, B, C, D, E) to be completed.
The system cycle time is the time it takes for one unit to go through the entire process.
At task D, two units can be processed in 12 minutes, resulting in an average cycle time of 6 minutes for the ironing task.
The bottleneck process in the system is task B, which takes 10 minutes per unit.
Therefore, the cycle time for the entire process is determined by the bottleneck process, which is 10 minutes per unit.
The process operates for eight hours a day.
The daily capacity of the process is the number of units it can produce in a day.
At task D, two units can be processed in 12 minutes, resulting in an average cycle time of 6 minutes.
The daily capacity of the process depends on the cycle time and the number of minutes the process operates in a day.
