Answer:

  The bottleneck of this process is Workstation C, at 30 minutes per unit.

Step-by-step explanation:

The throughput of each workstation is ...

  • A: 6 per hour
  • B: 3 per hour
  • C: 2 per hour
  • D: 4 per hour

Since each process must be executed once per finished product, the bottleneck is the station with the lowest throughput. It is clearly Workstation C.
