a) Assign tasks to workstations and determine how much idle time is present each cycle
b) which figure down below of the possible assignment of tasks to workstations is shown correctly?

c) The actual cycle time is equal to the longest operation time across all the workstations = ___ minutes (enter your response rounded to one decimal place).
d) the total idle time per cycle =___ minutes (enter your response rounded to two decimal places).
e) The efficiency of the assembly line with 3 workstations = ___ (enter your response rounded to two decimal places).
f) Is this possible to increase the efficiency to 100%? yes or no
g) The theoretical minimum number of workstations = ___ (round your response to the immediate higher whole number).
