Question

What is the hourly capacity of this sandwich-making process?

12 sandwiches per hour At a local business school, a toasted sandwich process uses a conveyor-fed oven. Zeynep is the sole operator of the sandwich-making process. In the first step of the process, she spends 2 minutes putting various ingredients in the sandwich. Then she puts the sandwich on a conveyor belt and, over a period of 12 minutes, the conveyor moves the sandwich from the beginning of the oven to the end of the oven, fully toasting it. After the sandwich comes out of the oven, Zeynep spends 1 minute slicing the sandwich and putting it in a box. At most, five sandwiches can fit in the oven at once. The toasting time in the oven does not depend on the number of sandwiches in the oven. load ingredients- slice and box 2 minutes sandwich (Zeynep) 2 minutes sandwich (oven) minute sandwich (Zeynep)
