A machine makes two components; call them types A and B. It takes 490 seconds to switch production between the component types. During that time, no production occurs. When in production, each unit of A or B requires 0.5 seconds to be completed. The two components, A and B, are combined in an assembly process to make a final product; call it C. The assembly step can combine the two components into 1 unit every 2 seconds, or 30 units per minute.
For questions below, round answers to the nearest whole number:

(a) Suppose the machine rotates between one batch of 500 units of A and 500 units of B. In that case, what is the capacity of the machine in component pairs per minute, where a component pair is one unit of A and one unit of B?
(b) Suppose the machine rotates between one batch of 500 units of A and 500 units of B. What is the utilization of the machine?
(c) Suppose the machine rotates between one batch of 500 units of A and 500 units of B. What is the average inventory of B components?
(d) If the production schedule could be adjusted with the goal of minimizing inventory in the process, how many units of A should be produced before switching to component B? Assume the same number of units of B would be produced as well.
