a$.$ Determine positional weights for each of the activities.

b$.$ For a cycle time of $30$ units, what is the minimum number of stations that could be achieved? Find the C $=30$

balance obtained using the ranked positional weight technique.

c$.$ Is there a solution with the same number of stations you found in part $($b$)$ but with

a lower cycle time? In particular, what appears to be the minimum cycle time that gives a balance with the same

number of stations you found in part $($b$)$
