The Peeps factory can be described as a three step process consisting of Mixing, Forming, and Packaging. Peeps are made in batches of 1000 and have a daily demand of 75,000 units during what the plant manager likes to call "the Peep season." Mixing has a cycle time of .02 seconds with a setup time of 30 seconds; Forming has a setup time of 24 seconds and a cycle time of .03 seconds, and Packaging has a setup time of 15 seconds with a cycle time of .04 seconds. Each process step is handled by one operator, who is available for 8 hours a day. What is the process bottleneck if each process step is assumed to have 100% uptime?
