The manufacturing company you work for has a four step assembly process shown in the flow diagram below.

Process 1 Capacity =73 units/hr

Process 2 Capacity = 67 units/hr

Process 3 Capacity = 91 units/hr

Process 4 Capacity = 79 units/hr

What is the maximum output this assembly process could produce in 8 hours?

If the capacity of Process 1 is increased to 91 units/hour, how many units can be assembled in 8 hours?

Assume the capacity Process 1 is not changed in the diagram above, but instead the capacity of Process 2 is increased to 91 units/hour. How many units can be assembled in 8 hours?
