Consider a three sequentially stepped process named as process a, process b and process c. input comes into process a. output form a goes into process b. output from b goes into process c. output of c is the final output. suppose that it takes 2 minutes per unit in process a, 3 minutes per unit in process b and 1 minute per unit in process c. what will be maximum steady state output from this system?

The process B is at the maximum steady state. A process is said to be at steady state if the variables that define the behavior of the system are unchanging

Explanation: From the Above

Process A takes 2 minutes per unit and hence can process (60/2) = 30 units per hour. Process B can process only (60/3) = 20 units per hour. Process C can handle (60/1) = 60 units per hour. the steady state output from this system is the smallest of the three, that is process B 20 units per hour
