Respuesta :

Answer:

option (c) 33.3%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

The capacities at each step is given as:

Rinse = 30 units/hour

Dry = 360 units/hour

Fill = 120 units/hour

Demand rate = 40 bottles per hour

Now,

Resource Utilization of Fill = [tex]\frac{\textup{Demand}}{\textup{Fill capacity}}\times100\%[/tex]

or

Resource Utilization of Fill = [tex]\frac{\textup{40}}{\textup{120}}\times100\%[/tex]

or

Resource Utilization of Fill = 33.3%

Hence,

the correct answer is option (c) 33.3%
