A manufacturer is designing a product layout for a new product production. It plans to use a production line for 8 hours per day in order to meet forecasted demand of 180 units per day. The product requires 7 tasks in total. These tasks are namely. A. B,C.D.E.F. and G respectively. Task A does not have any predecessor to start. To start Task B, it requires Task A to be completed. Starting tasks C needs, the task B to be completed. Also, starting task D needed task B to be completed. Task E can only start upon completion of Task C. Whereas starting task F needs the completion of both the tasks Dand E. Finally, starting task Gneeded, task F to be completed. The processing times for tasks, A, B. C, D, E, F, and G are 2.4, 2.2,0.9, 1.0, 1.2, 1.8, are 15 minutes respectively. Applying the mast remaining tasks rule for balancing the assembly line, with ties broken according to longest task time first. What will be the idle time for the SECOND Workstation? a. 0.27 b. None is the correct answer Oc 1.67 O d. 0.57 O e. 0.47 A manufacturer is designing a product layout for a new product production.
