Output
1-2 2-3 3-4 4-5 Total
Dept. 1 40 44 50 46 180
Dept. 2 40 44 45 45 174
Dept. 2 backlog – – 5 1
Cum. Dept. 2 backlog – – 5 6 6
Solution
Time of Afternoon
Although Dept. 1 averaged 45 units per hour, it was late getting 6 units to Dept.
2 in the last two hours. Since the robot was constrained to 45 units per hour, it
could not handle the extra 5 units given it between 3:00 and 4:00 and the extra 1
unit given it between 4:00 and 5:00.
