ASSIGNMENT:

Incremental Utilization Heuristic Example

Lectro Inc. assembles alternators for automobiles. Ten basic tasks must be performed along the assembly line. The time to perform each task and the tasks that immediately precede each task are:

If $400$ alternators per hour must be produced by the assembly line, $50$ minutes per hour are productive, and a maximum of three tasks can be combined into each workstation.

Draw a diagram of the precedence relationships. TASK: You will be drawing the movement of material through assembly line.

Key:

$0($circle$)$ is the task or work to be completed.

Tasks are alphabetized A will be first and J will be last

$\backslash (\backslash$Rightarrow $\backslash )($arrow$)$ direction the arrow points tells where the product is going next
