Explanation / Answer

Processing time on workcenter 12 = run time/piece * quantity = 0.35*100 = 35 hours

Total flow time = setup time + processing time = 1 hour + 35 hours = 36 hours

Considering 8 hours working day, finish date on work center 12 = 250 + 36/8 = 254

Resource constraints could be the potential problem in completing the order on time.
