An assembly line is being designed. Each

station will have one worker. Cycle time for mee.

ing demand is $40$ time units. Using the data jn

Table $2\mathrm{.}11$ find an optimal $($minimum number of

workstations$)$ solution. A zoning restriction exists

such that tasks d and f must be performed in

the same workstation. If your solution has more

than $10$ percent idle time, suggest alternatives tha

could be explored to improve efficiency. What ad$.$

ditional data would be required to analyze these

alternatives?
