A manufacturing plant requires 20,000 units per day of all parts. Part numbers 1 through 3 are listed with their respective routings below. The parts weigh 2kg, 6kg and 4 kg, respectively. Each machine is identified with a letter (R, A, B, C, D, E, S). R is the incoming material location called Receiving and S is the shipping end of the line (these two stations have to keep their position). (20 points)
