assembled at single workstations consisting of one worker each plus assembly fixtures and

tooling. Each work cell and each workstation require $25$ m$2$ of floor space and an additional

allowance of $45\%$ must be added to the total production area for aisles, work$-$in$-$process

storage, shipping and receiving, rest rooms, and other utility space. The factory will operate

one shift $($the day shift, $2,000$ hr$/$yr$).$ Determine $($a$)$ how many processing and assembly

operations, $($b$)$ how many workers $($direct labor only$),$ and $($c$)$ how much total floor space

will be required in the plant.
