a.) draw the precedence diagram

b.) determine the minimum cycle time, the maximum cycle time, and the calculated cycle team

c.) determine the minimum number of stations needed

d.) use a table to design tasks and workstations on the basis of most following tasks. use longest processing time as tiebreaker. if ties still exist, assume indifference in choice.

e.) compute the percentage of idle time for the assignment in part d.

ease solve the 10 Howing problem related to chapter 1. As part of a major plant renovation project, the Industrial engineering department has been asked to balance a revised assembly operation to achieve an output of 240 units per cight- hour day. Task times and procedence relationships are as follows: Task Duration (minutes) Imediate Predecessor A B B C D E F G 0.6 0.5 0.3 0.4 1.8 0.8 1.2 D E, F Do each of the following: # Draw the precedence diagram D.
