    Station 1 = 8 minutes

    Explanation:

    The computation of the bottleneck time minutes per unit is shown below:

    Station 1 = 8 minutes

    Station 2 = 12 minutes : 2 machines = 6 minutes

    Station 3 = 5 minutes

    The station who has higher minutes per unit is considered to be the bottleneck station as it reduced the overall capacity.

    So, station 1 is the bottleneck station with 8 minutes per unit
