Amelio Rodriguez Computing wants to establish an assembly line for producing a new product, the Personal Digital Assistant (PDA). The tasks, task times, and immediate predecessors for the tasks are as follows:

Amelio's goal is to produce 175 PDAs per hour.

Part 2

The time available to produce the required quantity = ___ seconds (enter your response as a whole number).

Part 3

The cycle time for the production of a PDA = ___ seconds (round your response to two decimal places).

Part 4

The total operational time for the complete process = ___ seconds (enter your response as a whole number).

Part 5

The theoretical minimum number of workstations that Amelio can achieve in this assembly

line = ___ (round your response to the immediate higher whole number).

Part 6

For one to assign the tasks to the actual workstations and be able to use the "theoretical minimum" number, the activity assignment should be:

Workstation #	Tasks Assigned to Workstation
1	A	???

2

B

???

3

???

Were you able to assign all the tasks to the theoretical minimum number of workstations?

No

Yes
