A manual assembly line is being planned to produce a small consumer appliance. The work elements, element times, and precedence constraints are indicated in the table below. The workers will work for 420 min/shift and must produce 381 units/day. (a) Use the largest candidate rule to solve the line balancing problem. (b) For your line balancing solution, compute the balancing efficiency. (c) Solve using ranked positional weighted method and recalculate balancing efficiency.
