Explanation / Answer

Through the process flow-

One Type-1 customer would take (A+B+C+D+H) = 57.5 minutes

One Type-2 customer would take (A+B+E+F+G+H) = 66.1 minutes

Out of 11 hours, 58% of customers are Type-1, hence for 6.38 hours (58% of 11 hours) Type-1 customers arrive and for 4.62 hours(42% of 11 hours) Type-2 customers arrive

Condition1 - If one type-1 customer takes 57.5 min, then in 6.38 hours, 6 customers will arrive

Condition2 - If one type-2 customer takes 66.1 min, then in 4.62 hours, 4 customers will arrive

Hence,

Average Process Capacity= 6+4

= 10 Customers per day
