Toshiba's Notebook Computer Assembly Line

Toshihiro Nakamura, manufacturing engineering section manager, is examining the prototype assembly process sheet $($shown in Exhibit $6\mathrm{.}8)$ for the newest subnotebook computer model. With every new model introduced, management felt that the assembly line had to increase productivity and lower costs, usually resulting in changes to the assembly process. When a new model is designed, considerable attention is directed toward reducing the number of components and simplifying parts production and assembly requirements. This new computer was a marvel of high$-$tech, low$-$cost innovation and should give Toshiba an advantage during the upcoming fall$/$winter selling season.

Tweaking the Initial Assembly$-$Line Design

From past experience, Toshihiro has found that the initial assembly$-$line design supplied by the engineers often needs to be tweaked. Consider the following questions that Toshihiro is considering:

What is the daily capacity of the assembly line designed by the engineers? Assume that the assembly line has a computer at every position when it is started at the beginning of the day. $($Do not round intermediate calculations. Round down your answer to the next smallest integer.$)$
