Question: Develop the workstation throughput estimates after the second and third full cycles of the decomposition procedure (forward and backward passes) of Problem.
Problem: Consider a two workstation serial flow system with total units limits of 2 at each workstation. Assume that all times are exponentially distributed. Let the mean time to prepare jobs for entry into the factory is one hour, and the let mean service rates be 4/3 and 5/4 jobs/hour for Workstations 1 and 2, respectively. Develop the workstation throughput estimates after the first full cycle of the decomposition procedure (forward and backward passes).
