Read the “Beck Manufacturing” case study in Chapter 8 of your text. In a three- to four-page paper, address the following:

1. Calculate the capacity of each machine center and the capacity of the system.
2. Analyze where the focus of the company’s efforts should be if Beck wants to expand capacity. Determine how much extra capacity he can get without causing another operation to become the bottleneck.
3. Suggest ways Beck can expand capacity without purchasing new equipment.
