A manufacturer uses an automated painting process paint as


A manufacturer uses an automated painting process paint as its products. The product comes in 4 colors red, orange, blue, and green). The paint line operates 2 shifts per day (i.e. 16 hours/day), 7 days/week. During each shift, the line is down for 2, 15-minute breaks. In addition, there are 2 set-ups on each shift (i.e. 1st shift paints red and orange; 2nd shift paints blue and green products). It takes 15 minutes to set up the machine each time the painting operation changes colors. All maintenance activities are done on the off shift so they do not affect the paint process capacity. The design capacity for the painting process is 12 units/hour. Last week the painting process painted 1095 products.

Based on this information, determine the paint process's (1) Weekly Effective Capacity; (2) Utilization; and (3) Efficiency.
