The casting units are the most heavily utilized.<br />

Clearly the longest delay occurs at the casting units. This appears to be the place to<br />
add capacity.<br />
The expected flow times <strong>for</strong> each job type are approximated as<br />
type 1: 41.1 + 125 + 14.7 + 35 + 0.5 + 20 = 263.3 minutes<br />
type 2: 41.1 + 235 + 15.8 + 250 + 2.4 + 50 = 639 minutes<br />

Comments: The approximation might be improved by adjusting <strong>for</strong> variability. The<br />
sample squared coefficient of variation of the interarrival times is<br />
