Question: A toy manufacturer produces six different types of trucks. Each truck has a unique assembly process. The process to assembly a fire engine is shown below:

Step	Setup time	Processing time
Assemble Plastic Components	30 minutes	1.5 minutes per fire engine
Assemble Metal Components	25 minutes	1.2 minutes per fire engine
Affix Decals	No setup	3 minutes per fire engine
Packaging	10 minutes	2 minutes per fire engine

If the batch size is 25 trucks, what is the capacity of this process?

What batch size would maximize the flow rate of the entire process without accumulating excess inventory?

What step will never be the bottleneck, regardless of batch size?
