Assuming you are doing a PPAP on the whole process as one part, you would have to look at the stages seperately to determine your constraint. The constraint is the "bottleneck" that determines how many FINISHED pieces can be made within a given time. For example, if you find a constraint as the first process in line, you may be able to elevate the constraint by "stocking" an inventory.
In the case you outline, the last process appears to be the constraint. Your "run-at-rate" would be 200 nos./hr. If you did some streamlining and raised that constraint to say 500 /hr, then your constraint becomes #2 and the "RAR" is elevated to 300 nos./hr.
