How business plan suggests redistributing existing workers


Problem: An operations expert who looks at the business plan suggests redistributing the existing workers among the 4 stations not including cutting. He suggests that Georgette can a) assign one worker to perform two or more operations (the operations do NOT have to be adjacent to each other in the process flow) and b) assign several workers to perform the same operation (but the tasks cannot be split). Assume there is enough space in the salon and Georgette will buy more equipment and chairs if needed. Georgette will continue to be the only worker in charge of cutting. e) What is the highest possible process capacity that can be achieved this way? How many additional bonnet dryers should she buy to maximize the flow rate? (Recall: More equipment can be purchased, but no additional employees can be hired).
