A single-model assembly line is being planned to produce a consumer appliance at the rate of 90,000 units/year. The line will be operated at 50 weeks/year, 5 shifts/week, and 6 hours/shift. There will be one worker per station. Previous experience suggests that the uptime efficiency for the line will be 100% and there is no repositioning time. The work elements, their times, and precedence constraints are given in the table below.
