A product moves in sequence through five operations: V, W, X, Y, and Z. The processing time at each operation (min/unit) is 12, 18, 10, 24, and 12.
Use a chart like Figure 5.2 to show the flow of the product through the five operations and the inventory accumulation after each operation.
Determine the total production lead time and average inventory.
Assume the production quantity and process batch size is 100. Use transfer batch sizes of 100, 50, and 25.
