$(1$ Point$)$ As you know, you should always round up your theoretical minimum number of

workstations. Nonetheless, the calculated theoretical minimum number of workstations is

not always attainable. Based on your calculation to the previous question, which of the

following seems most plausible?

A$.$ You will be able to create an acceptable assembly line that has

EXACTLY the number of workstations as the calculated theoretical

minimum number.

B$.$ You will be able to create an acceptable assembly line that has a

SMALLER number of workstations than the calculated theoretical

minimum number.

C$.$ Creating an acceptable assembly line that has exactly the theoretical

number of workstations in very UNLIKELY. It is very likely you will

need MORE workstations than the calculated theoretical minimum

number

$(1$ Point$)$ If someone were to create an assembly line that had $8$ workstations, what would

the efficiency of that assembly line be$?$

$(1$ Point$)$ If someone were to create an assembly line that had $10$ workstations, what would

the efficiency of that assembly line be$?$

$(1$ Point$)$ If someone were to create an assembly line that had $8$ workstations, what would

the total amount of idle $($in seconds$)$ in that assembly line?

LINE BALANCING $-$ PRECEDENCE DIAGRAM

Use the numbers calculated in questions $1$ through $4$ to complete question $5.$ Remember, the

factory is open $22$ days per month. The assembly line runs $8$ hours per day. The following chart and

precedence diagram give the necessary data to answer the line balancing related questions.
